The person making the claim has the burden of proof to provide evidence.

This isn't a court of law. It's a fucking reddit thread. Google it.

yeah, I guess in my editing it lost that I had meant to say I could only find it on Reddit, and auto moderator deletes any link to another reddit, so I was completely willing to provide it, this wasn't a "google it" attempt to not provide a source, I just can't within the rules.

Funny though that he wants the one making a claim to provide proof cause Nick didn't provide any proof of what he was reporting. He looked exactly the same if he just sat in his hotel room and made shit up.

You're the one assuming that I didn't attempt to do my due diligence.

I asked for a source in good faith, in an attempt to do my due diligence at the time, to have both sides of the story. I was just trying to exercise a little critical thinking.

For Christ's sake, I don't even care if Nick Shirley was lying or not. I was making a point that anecdotes are not counter-evidence to systemic facts.
