Let's say you debate with multiple people "Why is the sky blue and not green"?
(a) A philosopher
(b) A linguist
(c) A physicist
(d) A five year old child
All those debates are different. It's very useful to ask at the beginning of the debate where the other person is common from when you want to target arguments.
Sure, but I think the follow-up responses make it clear the other commenter isn't looking for a real discussion.
I think you are right, the follow-up responses are what indicate the fallacy intention (conscious or not).
