Except they didn’t say they were skeptical, and they even asked for more information. I don’t know why you got hostile in your reply to them. Because they didn’t just accept what you said as truth without needing sources?

I like skepticism, it's healthy. I like it when everyone questions and doubts in order to find the truth. It can go too far sometimes and you get anti-vax morons and flat-earth dipshits, so there's a level of curiosity that, once it becomes unhealthy or unusual, should be punished.
