Wow, you really are sticking to the playbook. "Here, deboonk this video or else you are a attacking my character," said every other "I just want to have an adult discussion" forum user before.

Are you also going to post me a link and ask me what I think about [fill in name of obscure internet researcher] and if his content is wrong? That's usually the next move in the book.

I found out what it's called when someone constantly badgers you for sources. It's called "sea-lioning".

Not exactly what the moonies are doing to you, but it's in the same ballpark I think.

Yeah, the moonies and the Qtards always try to put the burden on me to prove them wrong instead of them providing proof of their claims that aren't up to me to watch or read for myself. They post the links so they can do two things: 1. take me out of the conversation for a while in the hopes that I won't come back for more, or, 2. call me out for not watching/reading their material so I can't refute them because I don't have all the "facts" their source provided. It's an old game and I've been playing it for too many years now. I just try to short circuit the ploy now since they're trying to set me up in the first place.

Sealioning is exhausting your opponent, and making them sick of the conversation and the entire topic, as a debating tactic.

Thank you. Yeah, I just wanted to mention it because I just learned about it the other day and it is tangentially related to what is going on here.

There was no conversation. There was no argument. I said, this video has some valid points and instead of having any sort of discussion, zero, the discussion is that my personal character is using some secret tactic to wear out the other person. Pathetic.
