This isn't some sort of obscure conspiracy theory, all of what the GP said was and is being very widely reported on. The name of the ship is the Rhosus.
Given the exact phrasing of the GP (cities/countries, route of ship) it is important to provide sources.
I genuinely had no idea and wanted to learn more. This indicates to me that it is perhaps not common knowledge as you claim.
I agree that I should have perhaps written a more detailed response requesting sources in a different way, especially if you're comparing my understanding to conspiracy theories.
CNN article linked in same thread. Extensive media reports from 2014 in Russian/Ukrainian media when the ship was seized. It was a minor human interest story because the crew was stranded for 10+ months with no operating funds and no salary.
I disagree for two reasons: 1. If you're making bold claims then you should ideally back them up (wouldn't the internet be better this way?); And 2. If you've done "research" then part of that would entail sharing your "findings" i.e. providing sources.
It's not about being lazy, it's about wanting a better internet experience. Making claims without backing them up doesn't sit well with me.
