To each their own. I agree with the other person. If you come out and make a bunch of claims, the onus is on you to support it, otherwise you’re just blowing smoke. Calling people out to source these claims is the best way to combat misinformation, a major issue on these platforms where anyone can make anything up. I do think that asking nicer is better, but I don’t think that just saying, “Source?” is particularly rude or unnecessary. It was a neutral comment that has been taken as an attack.
Also, I didn’t say you didn’t understand, I said if you didn’t understand you’d be an idiot given the context of your original comment. That was in counter to the post I responded to making it seem like there was a question about what Source that person was referring to.
