To which I responded
Which I thought was a pretty straightforward way of saying that him asking me about a random claim was not going to get an answer unless he provided a reference to something the church taught. To simplify the discussion I asked him to keep his questions to material that was published and that I could access. I am sure there is more information out there, but since I dont have access to it how could I make any reasonable response?

It's a pretty strong accusation to make about a guy who (afaik) is considered a prophet within the LDS community. Your answer of "I never heard that, but I'm not sure" doesn't seem to have much conviction behind it.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that I expect(ed) adherents to know if it's true or not. No maybes about it.
But that could be my own bias or misunderstanding talking. Maybe y'all believe he was capable of making mistakes and that's part of the deal and you don't make a big hubbub about it. That would make sense.
