Thanks, I later posted the links I’d found regarding same.

If I make reference to a particular event in history, I usually provide a link as a source.

I occasionally will ask another poster to do the same.

Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to pontificate to me.

I apologize not for the content of my remark, but for its snarkiness.

My frustration comes from making a point or comment and having people come on and ask for specific links to exactly support a position.

Often times they are people posting in passing about something that is literally fingertips away.

For example, I made a comment the other days regarding “forgotten cultures” that have probably been around for tens of thousands of years—predating ours.

I immediately got a post from some “the earth is 4000 years old” believer asking me for specific links to support my argument.

The problem was it wasn’t an argument, it was an opinion; and second of all, it was based on a book I read 15 years ago...

That type of thing has probably happened 10-15 times in the last month. I find that old guys come on here to flex their alpha muscles and argue like folks used to do down at the General Store.

So, I apologize for the bad manners. I should have handled that better.
