  Sealioning (also spelled sea-lioning and sea lioning) 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. The troll pretends ignorance and 
  feigns politeness, so that if the target is provoked 
  into making an angry response, the troll can then act as 
  the aggrieved party.
You're asking for a source when the flaw has clearly been spelled out for you.

Please feel free to prove my claims wrong, with any verifiable example.




That's ridiculous.

You can't make baseless claims then call it abuse if someone asks for evidence.

My evidence, if you like, are all the people using live Bitcoins on LN right now, and the dozens of exceptionally bright people working full time on it.

Logically it follows it probably isn't fundamentally flawed if these things are happening.

Also, by your definition, you're "sea-lioning" too, by asking for evidencw.

What an absurd way to stop people questioning your claims.

If I was like you I'd just say you're lying and then when you dispute that, I'll claim you're abusing me.
