Ummm, no. Not at all.
Rather, my avatar is quite comfortable in expressing reasoned skepticism about pronouncements, allegations, assertions, accusations, etc. posted on here that have insufficient or totally absent vetting or sourcing.
In my opinion, there are several posters here who view the forum as solely an outlet for their keyboard enemas. They are upset. They are annoyed. They have a grievance. And they want to share their emotions with the forum. And do so without explanation ....or at any rate, reasoned, credible, explanation.
And for that, it is right and fitting to ask those posters to prove their emotions have validity within a real reality.
Now, poster j-mac if you have happened to fall in that category of irresponsible postings and have been asked to back yourself up with credible sourcing...well, amigo, it ain't personal.
It is the way adult discussion works. That's as true here on USMB as it is at the 'regular's corner' of the Dew Drop Inn. If a bloke says something that is new, controversial, or seems nonsensical.....it is right and proper for others to ask "how do you know that?"...... "where did you get that"? ....."Explain what you mean?"
That's the way it works. Out there in the adult world. Trust me.
