arrrg,

Israel has executed 5 aid workers in Gaza. Early reports from Al Jazeera are that they were with World Central Kitchen.

@arrrg Please site your source.

Anyone who says "please site (sic) your source" is a sealion.

Google/DuckDuckGo/Search engines exist for a reason, champ. There's like 20 or so sources:

@CosmicTrigger I don't see how asking for attribution is trolling or harassment. It seems to me that it is common practice to provide a link when providing information.

It's not trolling, but it is sealioning. Or just sheer laziness. It took me less than a minute to open up a new tab and type in the search parameters for that atrocity.

Next - it's literally all over the news. Not MSM news obviously, but it's big news.

People are demanding indictments of both Biden and Netau-Nazi-u or however you spell his name.

But yeah, almost always when someone demands that you cite something on the internet what they're really doing is saying you just made it up.

A better response would have been "where can I get more information about this?" That's sounds like you are genuinely interested.

I'm not trying to be rude. You're probably older than I am. It took me awhile to learn the intricacies of internet decorum, too.

@CosmicTrigger okay, I got it. I had to look up sealioning before I responded to you earlier as I never heard that term before.

The reason I think it makes sense to provide citing is that it also makes things easier for someone just browsing to see if this info is from a source they trust (especially if they don't know the poster). That's my feeling anyway.

@old_hippie

I looked it up before I saw your comment LOL
