Assuming, of course, that the link is a factual piece and not just someone else’s opinion.

You are entitled to your own opinion. You are not entitled to your own facts. If you assert facts, or if you claim to be asserting an opinion that actually stands or falls on matters of fact, then it’s perfectly in order for someone to challenge you and ask for proof. This is a discussion forum, not a soapbox. The discussion can’t easily develop if all anyone does is shout conflicting opinions at one another.
