      I’m not agreeing with the shittyreddit guy, but this is a toxic response. The onus is on the person stating a claim to provide proof and evidence of the claim, not to make a claim and then tell others to Google it.

          Come on, dude. I’m still not agreeing with the other guy, but you know you’re being toxic. This isn’t cool.

            I’m not claiming a new scientific technique here. I’m just referencing publicly known and available information. There’s a world of difference between them. I am not going to give APA citations for the presumption the sky is blue. Stop encouraging laziness. There’s a line between them, and you’re way into the territory of enabling.

              Nope, still wrong my dude.

              If you make a claim, you cannot get upset when someone asks for proof. Since you made the claim, it’s your responsibility to provide the proof. Stop being so butt hurt about it.

              If anything, you’re coming off as the lazy one here.

                  So, are you just a troll or are you here to provide and participate in actual discussions? If you want to be a troll, go back to Reddit.

                    I already contributed. I gave my one comment That ShittyRedditWasBetter whined about and now you’re whining about. Given the usernames involved, it’s pretty funny.

                    If you want to start contributing instead of whining and crying, feel free to. It would be a refreshing change.
