    This is called sealioning so you’re really just helping my case here. Err, thanks, I guess?

    Sealioning is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential or previously addressed, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity, and feigning ignorance of the subject matter.

    But from memory, you typically display the following rule breaking behavior:

    • “Ignorant American”, “Hypocritical American”, and so forth
    • “Whatever helps you cope!” “Good luck with that!” (end of conversation)
    • Posting almost exclusively stories that portray the US in a negative light
