Sealioning (also spelled sea-lioning and sea lioning) is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with persistent requests for evidence or repeated questions, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity.

Who are you accusing of thar? I’m not demanding he do or say anything. I am simply pointing out that he is either intentionally going after hunters and farmers, or unintentionally doing so.

There are a few things I will defend in forums, and one is the right to not just hunt, but to not have to apologize for it as well. When someone comes on insinuating that “most hunters” like to “kill animals”, and that farmers are dumb for not “properly” securing their animals, then I take issue with that. Asking someone to be more careful with how they word things, and pointing out their contradictions isn’t sea-lioning, it is having a discussion about an issue that both sides feel passionately about. There’s no pretense here. I’m making my points, he is making his, and we ARE doing so civilly for the sake of civility. Noone is pretending anything. Not sure how you come out with such an accusztion?
