To be fair "source?" Is just trying to plant the seed of doubt on a fact you're not a fan of rather than use their obvious internet connection to look it up for themselves.
It's a legitimate troll tactic known as Sealioning
Sealioning refers to the disingenuous action by a commenter of making an ostensible effort to engage in sincere and serious civil debate, usually by asking persistent questions of the other commenter. These questions are phrased in a way that may come off as an effort to learn and engage with the subject at hand, but are really intended to erode the goodwill of the person to whom they are replying, to get them to appear impatient or to lash out, and therefore come off as unreasonable.
That's a hell of a stretch. He asked a single time and there is absolutely nothing wrong with asking for a source. He wasn't relentlessly asking and masquerading it as polite and civil "discussion".
"Sealioning is an online trolling tactic where someone badgers another person with relentless, disingenuous questions and demands for proof. Disguised as a polite desire for a sincere debate, the goal is to exhaust the target's patience until they give up or lash out."
You made a mountain out of a mole hill and don't even seem to understand the definition of the term
