In a normal case, you would be correct to ask that someone proves the claim they make. But this case isn't a normal case. It's a case where someone says "The sky is blue!" and you say "No, it's not!", because you have your eyes closed.
If you want proof, please feel free to search aus.* on my exchanges with Roddles, that should give you some ideas.
Or you can make it really simple and just search for his postings with "You could never bullshit" or/and "out of a wet paper bag". That should give you a few thousand hits! :-(
The main problem cases are if someone corrects/disputes some of Roddles' statements/claims/. When then happens, most of the time Roddles goes ballistic and into foot-stamping and insulting mode. If you haven't seen that, you haven't been here (aus.*) or had your eyes closed. Period.
OTOH, to be fair, Roddles has his spurious good moments, with good discussion/contribution. One such episode was just recently in another group (which I won't mention to protect its audience, and no, I wasn't involved, just watching). So there you go.
