I agree with you on a lot of things and I disagree on a lot of things, but this is way off the mark.
If you make a claim, be prepared to provide the source for that claim. This is part of the scientific method, and it is also a part of any form of legitimate debate.
If you don't have the time to provide any sources, don't snap at them for asking. You don't even need to respond.
Often, someone else will provide the source in your stead if you're too busy or can't source it.
No, everyone always says this but, shit, if someone didn't sauce it (edit: again excepting wild things that might be hard to find or whatnot, not trivial top-of-search stuff) I wouldn't say "give me sauce" I'd look it up right away (assuming I cared) if nothing else to prove them wrong.

Source is not always for the person asking, sometimes it's for onlookers.
