This is spot on. It's the repeated conversations with evangelists to re-prove something mundane that really sucks all the air out of the room.

The "Just Asking Questions" faux civility is sometimes referred to as JAQing off.

I don't fully understand the concept of sea lioning. Basically asking any question at all is "sea lioning", if the person being asked doesn't want to answer? OP made one statement, I asked one question, and it is sea lioning?

Is that some kind of hyper progressive safe space thing?

Please explain. I'd like to be a good citizen.

"Sealioning is a type of trolling or harassment which consists of pursuing people with persistent requests for evidence or repeated questions, while maintaining a pretense of civility." (wikipedia)

Thanks - so asking a single question can hardly be called sealioning.

Seems that accusing people of sea lioning is also a good way to dodge addressing a serious question. Someone will have to make another animal based metaphor for that some time.
