Fisking is a written argument where one person sequentially addresses each point of an of another person's argument.
This is done in a precise manner relying on semantics and ambiguities to infer a defect in the original point. This approach is tantamount to taking a sentence out of context in order to refute an entire argument.
Fisking does not pay heed to the opponent's thesis as a whole, and thus does not disprove the thesis as a whole.

I loved that anime video -- a short introduction and twenty straight minutes of tentacle fiske.
That creepy guy over there looks like a total fiske.

Ålesund is well known for its smell of fish and krabbeklør. During the fire in 1904 or sometime around there, 60 000 people got homeless. Keiser Wilhelm decided to kill the remaining fisher-women and men, and the city was rebuild with the famous art nouveau, built by the remaining children who suffered under Keiser Wilhelm's terror regime. Now a very beautiful town with 40 000 people living in harmony.

To copy an article to your blog, then after every paragraph insert your own oh-so-witty comments. You don't actually have to refute or analyze anything you don't agree with, because ad hominem attacks like "this douche prick is obviously a goatfucker" is basically the same thing.
This is teh Socialist goatfucker! It's too bad Atlas Shrugged isn't required reading in every third grade class room, because this stuff practically fisks itself.
