Just came across a wonderful website which included this perfect description of some exchanges on here

"Kamm's Gimlet: Argument-winning technique whereby a writer pens tedious diatribes of such immense length and intellectual flatulence that political opponents lose the will to continue debating.
So called because, like its chief practitioner, a gimlet is a small boring tool."

Plenty more on The Encyclopedia Of Decency

Enjoy :-D
