The ISBN is a book index, not source of facts. Widely-known information doesn’t require citation. I also don’t have to cite that gravity exists nor that the earth revolves around the sun.
Your failure to provide a reliable source for your extraordinary claims, however, is not my problem.
If you cannot provide a reliable source of your claims, your claim will be dismissed.
You did make a claim.
Gravity existing and the earth going around the sun have been demonstrated beyond a reasonable doubt. Also it's really easy to cite the evidence that supports those facts.
It was widely known information that cigarettes were good for you at one point so "widely known information" doesn't mean much. That you even phrased it that was hints that you know the distinction between that and supported fact.
You don't engage honestly in conversations.

Do you think that addressed what I said?
Do you think that you are not behaving childishly?
Do you think that I am the other user?
Is that a yes or a no on the good person part?
"Think" might have been a bit strong. Hope might be more appropriate.
