Controversial Topic

[Itzal]

Almost verbatum repeat of a prior posters post showing that the current poster couldn't be bothered to read the topic history

[Sethram]

A post full of ad hominem, strawmen, and pretty much every other logical fallacy one can make.

[Infidel]

Obvious gloat that people seem to be enjoying the thread topic.

abbreviation that does nothing to add what was said before, just an indication of agreement. Maybe implying that my opinion might be of even greater worth than the poster quoted, or maybe an indication that I believe that factual correctness is determined democratically, or maybe just an indication of agreement.

Accusation that poster's ideas are equivalent to those of the dominant political party in German duing the 1930s and 1940s.

Single-word, four-letter post that indicates complete agreement with the post above, while literally adding nothing to the conversation but "this."

Ending remark obviously showing the author's attempt to read the whole topic and prove themselves clever about the topic but being apologetic if they've offended anyone - basically opening them up for an attack from following posters

Immediate and vehement attack on poster.

Shocked outburst with a counter attack followed by a concious effort to back-peddel through his earlier post to appease quoted poster and yet still trying to portray a unique standpoint on the issue. And fails to deliver due to attempting to hide the obvious time gap between posts.

Obvious gloat that people seem to be enjoying the thread topic.

uneccesary second quoting to agree wholeheartedly and yet attack previous posters for derailing the thread with pointless spamming of agreement posts.
Obvious remark that this is only a quick post as part of author's fairly regular trips to the forums.

uneccesary second quoting to agree wholeheartedly and yet attack previous posters for derailing the thread with pointless spamming of agreement posts.

A modding attempt that accuses the previous poster of playing mod. A warning that the previous poster will be reported if such behavior does not discontinue.

Statement that my own behavior is above reproach.

A post full of ad hominem, strawmen, and pretty much every other logical fallacy one can make.

Accusation that poster's ideas are equivalent to those of the dominant political party in German duing the 1930s and 1940s.

Obligatory post identifying the meme the quoted post invokes.

Comparison of the original poster and all who agree with him to Hitler once more.

Possible comparison to terrorist group popular with the media at whatever current time.

[Itzal]

Grudging admission to being a time travelling Hitler who used his time machine to escape to the future leaving a body double to take the blame.

((Hah bet you weren't expecting that were you ))

((Of course I'm not... but I'm sure you never believed me in the first place ))

absolute attack on the previous poster for posting such an idiotic idea and insults their intelligence and sense of humour by pointing out that they have not grasped the concepts being disscussed in this thread or the manner in which they are represented.

[Skyrar]

Slightly surprised post, here is honest disbelief in the fact that this topic is still alive.

[Cmdr I. Heartly Noah]

Post claiming to be the final post in the thread.

[Infidel]

Slightly surprised post, here is honest disbelief in the fact that this topic is still alive.

Post claiming surprise that this thread is not many pages longer.

[malekith]

post obviously just trying to increase the length of the thread and post count of author.
vauge collection of the thoughts put forward in the thread on the topic but lacking any conclusion and opening it up for furthur discussion from any new visitors.

[Housellama]

Actual informed response to the original topic, several weeks too late.

[Itzal]

attack on last posters response using fauly logic to dispute posters claims

enthusiastic agreement. listing of many points of evidence in support of these ideas that appear well-thought-out at first, but are at best dubious under any scrutiny.

[Cmdr I. Heartly Noah]

Repeated attempt at being the final poster to add to the thread.

[Infidel]

Actual informed response to the original topic, several weeks too late.

A note that this thread is yet to live several weeks, so it is difficult to be several weeks too late. Then a discussion of which comes first, cause or effect.
