    Look man, I did not ask for a source.

    Obviously…

    I’m saying that’s how a rational person would have handled this…

    Something like:

    Hey man, im not aware of any of that and couldn’t find anything on a search. Could you elaborate or point me in the right direction?

    Super basic stuff.

      And I did do my due diligence and I fact checked his post and I came to my own conclusions. I had no need to have a discussion with somebody who was obviously erroneous in their assertions. If people want to talk, sure, I can do that. But once somebody attacks me, all bets are off, and that is what happened. OPs reaction to my disagreement was an ad hominum, not the beginning of a constructive discussion or valid critiques on my thinking.

        I have to correct myself and expose my wrongs. I noticed that I was passive aggressive at the end of my original comment, perhaps that angered OP. I said the following at the end of my post. “I stand behind your fight. Lead us, since you know the way. /s”. That was unnecessary. OP did delete their retaliatory comment to me and I did not quote it, maybe that would given me more of a leg to stand on. I may have come off like an asshole. And to the surprise of a lesser asshole, he encountered a bigger asshole, and he backed the fuck up, because he will get fucking rocked.

      I’m not one of those people, you may be. I simply stated that I did not agree with some things. If a discussion was to be had the original poster could have refuted my claims and then said discussion could begin. Instead, he was upset by my comment and chose to belittle me. And I don’t take that shit.
