Often called a "Troll" in the internet realm, it is a means to pretend discussion with the intent of listening to yourself talk, and through manipulation of the dialogue place your opponent in a position of anger, and overreaction.
Sometimes used as a technique in valid debate, Trolling has a developed history and has become a mainstay of those who have little else to discuss, for whatever reason. Through the years many approaches have been used to quell the use of trolling on the internet, most to little avail, though the most effective to date has been simply pointing out the troll for what it is, and allowing the person who posted to feel a fool for doing so in the first place.
I have found this approach superior to the use of deletion and reprimand.
