I was not attacking anyone. I just asked for concrete examples.

Is there ever a negative connotation to asking for concrete examples? (I'd actually like a concrete example if there is one)

It can be easy to ask in a way that implies you do not believe there are any.

A: "I looked up everywhere I could before coming to ask for help" B: "You looked it up everywhere? Ok then, give me the name of at least one place you looked it up at."
