  Is it fair that I have to post a source when someone criticizing doesn’t?

  I’m just a passing stranger that just happens to have good knowledge about a significant misunderstanding that happened a year ago.

  I don’t walk around with ‘sources’ to all of the knowledge I’ve ever gained hanging out of my back pocket.

  This is why “source?” posts are stupid and unreasonable, double so when in response to something where a source was never provided.

  Now… that all said, I do have a moment now that I didn’t have previously to provide additional information.

  This article… news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31490515 …Is a starting point, and more info can be found with your own search.

    Someone did provide a source in response when asked instead of writing a diatribe, not that I disagree with you, but your complaint was unnecessary. Someone made a claim and was asked for more information, you made an opposite claim in response to that and were asked for more information.

      The person that made the claim never responded. I don’t know what you’re talking about.

      However I did respond, when I could.

      So point stands, an accusation was made without evidence, and that accusation is still there, and now mine and one other post responds to that accusation… that again is without evidence.

      My issues is, when I made that last post, why was I asked for a source, but no one asked the person making the claim against DDG for a source?

      If the people asking me for a source had also asked the original claimant for a source I’d have no issue.

      The practice of asking the counter claimant for a source and not the claimant is rife, unfair, unreasonable and needs to be called out.

      If seems far too common to accept a say so when an accusation is made online.

    If you’re trying to debunk a myth or call someone’s BS, then yes a source should be your opening statement. Is it fair? No. Is it necessary? Absolutely.

    With all that said thank you for providing the source. A very well written one it was. I am going to debunk this myth now too, if and when I see it.
