It's just outright rude and akin to the 'I dont know therefore it cant be' logic.
What do i call these people who quite frankly don't know fk all and yet demand sources for everything. Said types have no real kind of education, some are the wrong kind of hippies and such as well.
Who are these people who don't know sht but demand sources and have no actual intention of finding anything out themselves anyway?.
If you have certain assertions you really probably should cite sources if you can. It's part and parcel of academic writing.

Merely stating its not unreasonable to ask for sources or provide them in terms of an argument. Credibility tends to go to the one who can provide verifiable facts. However I don't see it as unreasonable to ask for sources especially when something to you sounds like it is wrong, it is specifically asking for those sources that can lead to a correction on your part and a reaffirmation of your stance.
For example occasionally while discussing something someone will make a specific point to me, I'm not inclined to bullshit my way through the discussion if I can help it nor am I adverse to admitting I was wrong or not possessing of all the required information so I'd ask for a source or reference, having read through the information from the source I'm better informed as to where my counterpart in the discussion is coming from.
Not only in terms of the content he is citing for reference but also the nature of the sources and their political spin as well. You simply cannot expect everyone to know everything, nor can you generalize those who ask for sources as "uneducated".

All you stated was "ignorant halfwits" that could literally be most anyone.
