It's good practice, if we're going to go out and convince others. The argument was reasoned, even if a bit slidey. I answered, if you want to check the thread.
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. It may take the form of "incessant, bad-faith invitations to engage in debate".
Is that how you find Ogre's posts? That he only asks questions and doesn't do any research himself?
The type of poster I hate is the one who nips at people's heels like a little yappy dog, following them all over the forum.
Read the thread, not just the last comment. I've had ample opportunity to view his comments over time, and this term seems consistent with his activities. More civil than most, and with more data than most, but his stuff on this thread was exactly that. The response to me was completely disingenuous. It's likely that he's on the click when commenting here, different from most users.

Thanks. I get the jist, and I'll not bother with him anymore. But help me out: what's "sea lion?" First time I heard that one.

No, mostly only you, and partly because I promised the mods to do my best to keep things from blowing up all the time between you and me.
I am always happy to converse with others in good faith.
