That doesn't mean that you don't have to cite evidence, even when we're discussing something you're educated in. I cite the DSM-4 when discussing diagnostic criteria in psychology in forum posts or emails despite having my degree in psych.
I'm necessarily not saying you're lying or that they're lying, just like a teacher in school wouldn't necessarily be suggesting I was lying if I didn't correctly cite a source in a paper. It's simply a part of argument. In order to convince someone of something, you need evidence that's verifiable. I can't verify what you posted. Neither can anyone else. I'm pretty sure you're being honest, but pretty sure isn't always good enough.
Edit: I like your signature.
