This strip has always rubbed me the wrong way. If you make a statement in a public forum, don't be surprised when the public responds. They are not entitled to your attention, but you're not entitled to their silence. I will not be providing any sources to back up my position, but I'm sure your requests for them will be very witty.

To add what other people have said: the sealion in the comic is following them around and being obnoxious. It even follows them to their bedroom.

One aspect of sealioning is continually trying to "debate" someone for something they once said, even if they're currently engaged in a completely unrelated conversation.

The proper response would have been to apologize at the first opportunity.
