11 questions, impressive Sealioning.

  If you’re not interested in an actual discussion just be upfront about it and save both ourselves the time. I didn’t make the claim, so asking what backs up that claim is called “discussion”. If you’re more interested in shouting people down, then maybe HN isn’t for you.

      > I can be, but not with an obviously dishonest user like yourself. Dishonest how? By holding views you disagree with? I’ve engaged on a good faith effort so far and your first response was to act like my questions were some nefarious action. I’m not sure one can actually discussion complex topics without questions. Then when I respond nicely you come back to tell me to “fuck off”. I’m not sure what set you off, but I don’t think any of it is deserved.

          Instead of replying with reasons why you won’t engage in a respectful discussion you could just downvote and move on. Like I said it would save both of us a lot of time.

            Sealioning is not respectful discussion. A respectful person would've taken the burden onto themselves of offering counter-evidence instead of firing off a barrage of obstinate questions.

                For repeat offenders, I prefer to call it out.
