Indignantly demanding “sources” when it has been discussed ad infinitum on this website is also a typical trolling technique.

That's absurd. Trolling? C'mon. If you are going to cite several paragraphs of "information", provide a souce. Hell, even high-schoolers are asked to do that much, at least they were when I went to high school.

The "trolling" meme is almost as bad as the "Nazi" meme. Get a grip. Presumably, the point of posting a large amount of "information" is to inform. As obvious, such informtion, posted anonymously on the internet, is worthless without sourcing. Are suggesting one should accept whatever one comes across on the internet as fact? If someone can take the time to compile a collection of facts, they can source them.

I'm a busy man trying to do my best. If shrill reprisals are the best one can do to answer genuine requests for sourcing, it tells me my skepticism is warranted.

I am correct. There is no argument on the point.

Apologies for typos. It’s late, and I’ve imbibed my share of wine this evening. Just a reminder—presumably we’re allies. Freegards.
