| − | At best, last wordism is a childish tactic characteristic of [[liberal style]]. At worst, it reflects a lack of personal responsibility or [[bullying]], which is a characteristic of wrongdoing or [[sin]]fulness. One such example of the use of last wordism by liberals is when a liberal [[troll]] on a conservative comment board posts a trolling comment in response to a conservative poster, then deletes the comment, either immediately before the poster can reply or while the poster is in the middle of writing a reply in order to successfully prevent the poster from replying (in the form of an error popping up when the poster attempts to post his reply, saying that the comment had been deleted), in effect getting the "last word", but in reality demonstrating the childishness and the cowardice of the troll in question. | + | At best, last wordism is a childish tactic characteristic of [[liberal style]].
