Burden of proof is on you.
No it isn’t.
Just drop it (both of you)...at this point you're just a sea lion and a troll exchanging messages.
My bad, didn't notice the different username
As long and they do it under this chain of messages, they don't sealion/troll anywhere else.
Also, sealioning is “just asking questions” (JAQ’ing off). Consistently interrogating a position or POV for example, with requests for evidence. Not asking someone to provide some sort of evidence for a single claim they made in reply to another user and refusal to find said evidence for them.
Emphasis mine. From wiki. I appreciate the attempt to deescalate though and accept it’s probably time to pack it in with that particular user.
How about you google burden of proof? Like the other user said burden of proof is on the party making the claim. It’s not on other people to prove the claim wrong by doing research for you.
Tell that to science.
