I don't feel threatened by you. No one does. You just seem to take great offense whenever someone disagrees with you. One of the basic tenents of the web is that if you can't handle having your views challenged, you probably shouldn't post them on an internet forum.
One of Steve's complaints was that you make an assertation and then command others to refute it. Unfortunately, that is not how any discussion works. I can claim that zebras are blue and orange striped. It is
my assertation. The burden of proof is on
me. To do anything less is simply conducting a dishonest process, which people will resent.
Oh, and for the record, Wikipedia is credible enough to serve as source on an internet forum. Forums are like taverns, not lecture halls; you don't do hard research on one, and if you are looking for it then you are in the wrong place.
