your "As far as my links? I don't need to cite links to have an opinion and express a thought."
is just you not reading mine properly, and an arrogant preposterous, wrongheaded proposition of yours that any of us here have to do what you find unnecessary.

Your technique here looks simply to dismiss any opinion which do not agree with yours 100%
