there's a type of internet person who will quote reply every sentence in a neutral statement you make and try to keep you replying for as long as they can no matter what. they have a veneer of "facts and logic" but that's just the cope to try and keep you in the conversation longer.
If you haven't encountered one,you're very lucky. or you are good at leaving comments that just don't attract them.
Sealioning?
oh yeah I forgot that was the word for that. they use other techniques too but that's the one I described. it's more about their goal and how they like to spend time on the internet though
I've never seen that - can you send me an example?
(/s btw -> this is an example of a sea lioning tactic in action!!)
They are people who have attention seeking issues.
They usually hate it when you phrase it that way.
