> You should ask yourself why you consider asking for evidence on a discussion forum rude. It sounds like you feel it's overly confrontational.

I already answered this question, multiple times. It has nothing to do with being confrontational.

It has to do with being RUDE.

Rude: discourteous or impolite, especially in a deliberate way [1]

[1] http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/rude

Nobody owes you ANY citations. You are being LAZY by demanding them. That LAZINESS is RUDE. If you disagree with someone, get off your lazy ass, go on Google, find evidence to the contrary and share. If you're too lazy to do that, then STFU instead of posting "citation needed". That doesn't add to the discussion. It's nothing more than an expression of displeasure with absolutely no effort to enhance the conversation.

You made a legit and helpful point upthread, but then your comments became at least as bad as the ones you were criticizing. This is just awful stuff, and I'm sure you know better. Please don't be uncivil on HN in the future.

You are being incredibly rude to me. Kind of ironic really. I think this is the end of me discussing this with you now :-)
