Wow! I have seen this exact conversation style. Is there a name for it? What is it intended to achieve?

I've seen it in religious forums primarily. At first I figured they were just dicks but then I saw the behaviour duplicated. So there's some kind of organization there.

Ho ho. But I see a parallel. When the convo gets disconnected from empiricism (be it via the esoterickness of the subject, or anonymity, or whatever) then beasts develop.
