purplepangolin commented on the word fisk
In the U.K. this word is used to describe a point by point rebuttal of a contentious article. It came about because bloggers often took issue with articles by Robert Fisk (Middle East correspondent of the Independent), and the act of writting a rebuttal became known as Fisking.
