I've had a few peeps remark on #Sealioning so I thought I should credit the originator, the wonderful #Wondermark

#DavidMalki

Cartoon in an old Victorian style WONDERMARK by David Malki Two people are having a conversation and then are interrupted by a sealion who keeps persistently interrupting them, saying it is being civil and in this way derailing the original discourse. This cartoon is the origin of the net slang 'sealioning' - when someone pretends to be arguing in good faith but in fact seek to distract and enrage by questioning definitions and minutiae.
