The worst kind of people...

they start a statement with "there is evidence for xy" and when you ask them for that evidence they answer with "do your own research".

i am absolutely serious when i say i wish every person that behaves like this in a discussion is culled from existence. nothing of value will be lost.

I agree. Very frustrating. It's like going into a shop and wanting to buy a widget, and the shopkeeper says, "Make it yourself." What?! You offered to sell me a widget, and you want me to buy a widget, but now you expect me to make it myself?! Same with an opinion; you want me to buy your opinion, but you want me to waste my time doing the research you should have done to back up your opinion! Give me at least one independent, credible source to back up your opinion and I *may* buy it. Otherwise the opinion is worthless and I won't buy it.
