We have to be prejudice towards the sealion and assume they are insincere for it to even work.These seems to say ignoring all requests to back up your opinion is fine. It effective says you should ignore any challenges to you world view.Although I better be careful I might be accussed of sealioning for disagreeing with you on multiple occasions (although I'm happy to leave it here, I've made my view clear) accusations of "sealioning" are generally used because people are unwilling (or more often unable) to defend their point of view. The whole concept is as flawed as the comic's metaphor.</blockquote>
