I got into a flame war once with a person who used battology. It was utterly amazing. She wrote a few intelligent things, but most everything she said was stupid. She kept reiterating the exact same phrase. After watching her FOR MONTHS respond to other people's posts with the same stupid phrase, I finally referred to her postings as "leavings" and thanks her for having excreted her pearls of distilled stupidity. The dam had broken.

What was even more surprising was that there were modestly intelligent people (self-proclaimed geniuses) who took her side in the argument. They claimed to be objective and at the same time declared their undying devotion to her.

Ah, well. Water under the bridge. They read that wit is invisible to the man that has none. I suppose the same could be said for reason.
