A poster asked if you had sources...
Wrong. Somebody else was asked. My screen name isn't in the "To" box.
...and you acted like he was a dolt for not finding them himself.
Well, if that's what you presume then so be it.

You implied that he was lazy and lacked even “rudimentary internet skills”.
No, I stated that folks who didn't put any sources for their quotes were lazy...
"Have fun finding the sources on your own, 'cause they are out there. Most folks are just too lazy to add 'em."
...and, once again, if that is what you presume then so be it.
But in fact they have no actual sources, only secondary sources like articles from NewsMax.
If the quote is in a news article, and it is an original article, then that is a primary source, not a secondary source, isn't it?

And so we’re back to square one. We still have no sources.
No, we have sources, you just choose to ignore them.
But now we do have your insults...
No, we have what you presume and construe to be insults.

Your turn.

Well, you’re right. Sorry about that! I mistook your intent.
