Another childish form of "last-wordism" used by liberals on comment boards (including those powered by Disqus), particularly when they lose an argument with a conservative, is to declare that they are "blocking" a conservative opponent (i.e. to hide the "blocked" user's comments from the "blocker's" own view so they do not have to see said comments) right after replying to the conservative, which in reality is the liberal lacking the courage of his convictions and taking the coward's way out by resorting to this tactic, in effect admitting (implicitly, if not outright) that the liberal lost the argument.

Incessantly spamming large blocs of text with off-beat, off topic, irrelevant information as a form of deflection to attempt to subtly change the topic from an embarrassing position or response is another form of last wordism.
Resorting to a childish [[Parthian shot]] (as in the second example noted above) is an example of [[last wordism]].
