a point-by-point refutation of a blog entry or a news story.

Originally coined by extremist right-wing bloggers in reference to Robert Fisk, a journalist who is the subject of ad hominem attacks.
There was a Fisking of a New York Times editorial in my blog today.
Fisking by Nate Hatfield September 6, 2004
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.
That bastard was Fisking my posts. So I had to create a hydra to Fisk him. I really fisted that Fisking fucker.

Guys 2 & 3, Simultaneously: "What was her name?"

"I've dated too many women to remember."
Guy 1: "... Would you two stop joke fisting, its making me uncomfortable."
