What happened in the vegan community?

I hadn't heard about any of this until seeing that ToS post.

I couldn't appreciate the visual sea lion anymore.What is gish galloping, which I would also appreciate a visual reference for if available.

Gish galloping is talking over the person you're arguing with to tire them out and / or interrupt them

Commenting with long text walls asking someone to refute this or that or respond to a series of questions is usually the online equivalent of that

You ever see those comment chains with vеgаns constantly responding to someone until the person they're responding to gives up, that can be considered Gish-galloping

Obviously with online comments you can't talk while another person is talking
