It's probably pointless to observe that requesting proof of a claim is not claiming the claim is a lie, and that asking for the proof of a claim made publicly to be shown publicly is not making me special in any way.
If one makes a public claim, I think one should show the proof publicly. Normally, this would be non-controversial common sense. If I say "X happened!", it is reasonable for someone to look at evidence to see if X did, in fact, happen. If I publicly made a claim that would be easy to prove and someone asked me for the proof, would you also start whining that they asked for that proof? Of course most things get hijacked into agendas that have little, if anything, to do with the actual claims.
