Seems like: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sealioning
They're not honestly curiously asking anything.
They tried to do a gotcha. Badly. And got gotcha'ed for it.
One question can't be "sealioning". Sure they aren't curiously looking for an answer, but that's not what sealioning is. Click your own link.
I saw a further video of them doing this type of thing before.
No need to be a douchebag.
You said what they're doing seems like sealioning. Not sure how any of us are supposed to infer that you're not talking about the subject content you're commenting on.
I affirmed the rest of your opinion other than the trendy label you then put on it. Not sure why that makes me a douchebag, but then with me not being American there might be subtleties to the term that I'm not aware of like "calmly suggests you might be misusing a term".
They called you a douchebag because your response was snippy and rude. "Click your own link" sounds condescending and arrogant.
You're probably right. I can see how someone who sees being corrected as hurtful choosing to interpret a simple request that way, I suppose.
