|
|
v. [from the Usenet group alt.fan.warlord ] The act of excoriating a
|
|
bloated, ugly, or derivative sig block. Common grounds for warlording
|
|
include the presence of a signature rendered in a BUAF , over-used or
|
|
cliched sig quote s, ugly ASCII art , or simply excessive size. The original
|
|
Warlord was a B1FF -like newbie c.1991 who featured in his sig a
|
|
particularly large and obnoxious ASCII graphic resembling the sword of Conan
|
|
the Barbarian in the 1981 John Milius movie; the group name alt.fan.warlord
|
|
was sarcasm, and the characteristic mode of warlording is devastatingly
|
|
sarcastic praise. See also McQuary limit.
