I provide references in my posts...to the point that people start criticizing me for "quote-mining" and telling me to stop quoting Ehrman and others.
Wouldn't it be reasonable then, for me to ask others to provide some references to back up what they are otherwise merely asserting?
Quote mining is precisely the opposite of providing evidence it's providing misinformation. Quote mining is misrepresenting the views of others by selectively quoting them. That is the accusation. Or is that okay in order to convince others of Christianity too?
If you define the term that way, then you know that I am not guilty of misrepresenting anyone's views because the references and links that I provide allow anyone to fact-check my work for themselves. That is an absurd accusation, and I'm surprised at you.
Can you name another member of this forum whose posts contain anywhere near as many references and links as mine?
Anyone?
I think not.
