MrFilmKritic on Twitter has the answer for you.
Yeah, I decided this a couple years ago unless someone seems unusually reasonable. No source will ever be good enough. The block button is the best way forward for most people who ask for a source. Because you can tell most people think asking for one is "winning" as soon as it's asked

Unless it's common knowledge or easily sourced.
no. support your claims

Edited for formatting
those examples I could accept but I think a lot of people use imparted wisdom as "common knowledge" and we should drill down on any claim that is disputed.
This is false actually. Any claim can be dismissed and evidence doesn't matter because nobody cares. The best way to convince people of things is with cheap psychological parlor tricks

No source needed, carry on.
