Actually, one of the sites one which that concept was coined now bans 
its use. The reason being that bad, stupid, pointlessly mad, arguments 
are so common, from certain sorts of people, there, that its impossible 
to tell when someone is, in fact, joking, and when they are serious, and 
therefor address the serious ones. It is a victim, in effect, of its own 
success, since, you can't combat stupid, by labeling every single such 
thing that gets posted as, 'There is no way this guy is serious." lol
