I wonder if it is similar to my approach to calling out seagulling.

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.[1][2][3][4] It may take the form of “incessant, bad-faith invitations to engage in debate”.[5] The term originated with a 2014 strip of the webcomic Wondermark by David Malki.[6]
