I was not asking him to back up anything. He was saying that those who ask for proof from people making a claim are lazy because they aren't fact checking it themselves (and I just realized now that my quote does a bad job of showing that). I'm telling him that he's wrong, that if they want proof it's the other person's job to provide it.

I hope you see the irony in what you just said. You're telling him to fact-check I did not. I said that if someone doesn't believe your claim then it's your job to prove it.

"Furthermore, it is exceptionally lazy for people on the internet not to be able to fact-check for themselves" The burden of proof is always on people making the claim. Whenever they do it is THEIR responsibility to back it up. To not back up your claims and expect other people to do your work for you is lazy.
