. What kind of bizarre self-importance would drive a poster to make such an absurd demand?

A respect for accuracy in debate? If people are allowed to make manifestly false statements and can't be called on it (which is exactly what DannyTN thought he was doing... I'm willing to concede that he probably just made a mistake) then what point is there in posting here.

Applying that rule uniformly and fairly would mean that you probably wouldn't be posting here. For example, you said

The folks at ICR don't have any reputation to lose.

If your statement were true, no one would listen to them. They have a rather large following so they indeed do have credibility. Therefore your statement is "manifestly false."
