Well the other thing is that it's very difficult to instantly tell from a pseudonymous internet comment whether the writer is a normal person up for a civilised discussion or a troll just looking to wind people up. And no offence, but you sounded pretty pro-brexit so not unreasonable to suspect you were a troll!

Sealioning is a type of trolling or harassment that consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential or previously addressed, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity, and feigning ignorance of the subject matter.

Whether or not you're intending to do this your comments do come off a little bit like that. I don't really like the term that much as people often use it to dismiss any further discussion, but it could be why the other commenters don't want to chat.

Alright, alright, the shurethra if you want to get technical

Looking at this and your other comments I think they just don't want to engage with the sealion

Well when you give a shit about the environment and then you hear about people doing something incredibly wasteful it winds you up, you know?

the world has always been and will always be difficult

Kitchens often have powerful extract fans so really it's the safest choice

Don't worry, most of us find it pretty odd too, but apparently American media fucking loves them!

More just "America odd". From a British perspective Americans seem to be very obsessed with their ancestry and talk about it like it's their nationality. Just a culture difference.

Also be careful about assuming a Northern Irish protestant identifies as Irish!
