The person making the statement.
However, I've noted again and again people dont' want their preconceived notions challenged so I don't bother backing it up unless it's a direct quote or something.
And even then, people ignore it, say it came from some source they don't trust, or cherry pick something from it and claim it debunks the whole argument.

@SumKindaMunster yes that does happen a lot here, but the cherry picking does give some credit to those people they at least read or looked into it. I know there are those here who live in their own little bubble of reality and nothing anyone says or does will pop that bubble.

@Thecollective It happens everywhere. I dunno, I've noted the "cherry picking" only happens to dismiss the argument, I would say this helps them ignore and deny further evidence that might change their mind.

@SumKindaMunster that is very true.
