@TechConnectify there's a term in Dutch that's used to describe this: mierenneuken.
It literally means "ant fucking" but it's basically this; focusing on little nitpicking details that derail productive conversation. I appreciate how quickly Dutch people point this out when it happens, and that usually puts a stop to it.
We need less ant fuckery in online discussions.
