Or points out to fellow bloggers/posters that ‘A is chucking johnston’s’ and in effect has evoked Godwins law, thus destroying the thread and any chance at meaningful debate.

2)Blog owner deletes and bans regular posters/contributers for disagreeing with his pet hates or hypocritical changes in ideological position.

Person A: ‘look he is chucking johnson’s everywhere’
Person B: ‘I know, I don’t recognize the place now so many people have been banned. And the threads are so full of deletions it’s impossible to follow the argument, he/she sure threw a lot of (Chuck) Johnson’s’
