[QUOTE="Raven Crowking, post: 5057885, member: 18280"] I would say that a rational response for a request for evidence would be depend upon (A) if you care whether or not the other person is convinced, and (B) how much effort is required to produce the evidence. If you care, and the evidence is easy to produce, it is sensible to produce it. It you care, but the evidence is difficult to produce, simply pointing the other person in the right direction is all that can be expected. If you do not care, no further response is really necessary. It is hardly disrespectful to ask for a link, or to suggest that someone might be mistaken. "How dare you suggest that I may be wrong!" is, OTOH, fairly arrogant. The claim that it is [B][I]disrespectful to ask for evidence[/I][/B], IME, is usually related to the lack thereof. If I claimed that I had seen Bigfoot on more than one occasion, you would be well advised to consider that I might be wrong about my own experiences. People misremember things all the time. It is an extremely common, and well documented, occurance. Moreover, even if your memory is spot-on, your conclusions from reading the materials may be mistaken. I know that this has happened to me, more than once, both from the position of misreading and from the position of being misread. Suggesting that one might misremember or have misunderstood is suggesting that the person is human; nothing more, nothing less. I misremember exactly how many times I have misunderstood! But I will certainly admit that, over the course of my life, there has been a considerable amount of misremembering and misunderstanding. Modern psychology would suggest that this is not unusual. If you have a great desire to discuss standards of evidence, standards of etiquette, etc., I will be happy to do so in a forked thread. RC [/QUOTE]
