Yeah, I don't get it. I go out of my way to provide sources even before being asked.

What's really frustrating is when others users criticize me for providing evidence that could be used to counter my claim. I'm not trying to win arguments, I'm trying to show my work so others can correct me if I missed something. I'm here to learn and educate, in that order, yet so many only seem interested in engaging in discussion that jives w/ their existing opinions. That was a problem on Reddit too, but at least someone would chime in w/ sources much of the time.
