warlording

warlording 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.
