If you quote sources, you bolster your own argument. Which is an excellent argument for amateurs to do it as much as possible.
But let's not get carried away. At the end of the day, it's not necessary to academically quote everything on your blog, nor research to see if anyone else has ever had an angle on your idea. You're not writing an academic paper, you're writing on your own blog, which will quickly vanish once you bore of the Voynich and move on.
Also, it seems that this topic flares up every three months on average. Frankly, I'm tired of it. Let's move onto something more productive.
