On Twitter, sealioning often also goes along with swarming, i.e.,tagging fellow ideologues in your responses to the science advocates, alerting them so that they can join in with the sealioning. Those tagged them tag others and so on in order to produce a swarm of "sea lions." 1/https://twitter.com/DrShepherd2013/status/1103627901138857984 …

The big question is do sealions do this? Are we unfairly labelling pinnipeds?

I've seen sealions happily killing pelicans for fun, so it may be accurate labelling.

I've written about vaping in a pop-sci capacity. Had to give it up because they wouldn't stop berating me. Vaping is a cult.

They will accuse you of being for big tobacco, meanwhile they love Juul who receives significant funding from Altria. The online vaping community is one of the most aggressive and toxic on the internet when it comes to being anti-science.

I’ve been listed on a Pro-vape site, because I questioned the safety of vaping. Vapers at large seem to be a seriously deranged cult. They swarmed my Twitter as well.

Oh yeah. I’ve often been tricked by someone who seems polite and interested, until it becomes clear he’s been steering me into making a statement that allows him to respond, “Aha! But if that’s true, how do you explain this 1964 study from the Journal of Questionable Data?”
