On a more serious note: If anyone can just claim anything in a conversation, that would be detrimental to any discussion. Either everybody makes up their own “facts” because no-one bothers proving everyone else’s version of a story (which is just everybody lying in everybody’s face); or everybody is constantly fact-checking everyone else, which makes the conversation take much longer than necessary.
You already have the source, or at least an idea in which context you got the information and how to find it again. It’s just common courtesy to share it the others rather than making them do the work, too.
There is a time and topic for demanding rigorous discussion, and shit posting about Dolph Lundgren ain’t it. Insinuating dishonesty and demanding a source about something so unserious is like inserting yourself into a casual conversation to start an argument.
