[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 9237852, member: 2525"] You don't know what it is but you're insulted anyway? Clint, Google is your friend. Morrus has called it out specifically in many many threads here himself. This is not an uncommon term. No the harassment is demanding more and more proof and sourcing each time people get a response, not expressing skepticism. Which I think I made real clear and that was a strawman. Again, this would be an easier conversation if you looked up [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sealioning']Sealioning[/URL]. Eyewitness testimony is not hearsay. Three known documentarians, which is a fact finding artform, say they have direct sources as in multiple. You don't have to take it as gospel but it's not fair to dismiss it out of hand while taking another claim as gospel which has even less support for it because it happens to comport with your perspective of the good guy and bad guy in this. If it's not convincing evidence to you that's fine but it's not the same as the continual statement that others should be as skeptical and unconvinced as you with the implication it shouldn't even be discussed without essentially names and transcripts while you're all gung ho about an off-hand comment from one guy claiming hundreds of employees said something with zero other support for that claim. Dude, it is NOT my fault you don't know that term. It's not new, it's not rare, it's a common Internet term, it's been used right here many times with many users, and you acting like I am burdening you by even using that phrase is weird. Look it up or let it go but don't put your ignorance on me. [/QUOTE]
