recursive trolling

An exchange between participants on an internet discussion board where there seems to be multiple levels of trolling; i.e., the victim might be trolling the troll, the troll might be aware he is being trolled and so trolls the victim's attempt at trolling, and so on. It is recursive in the sense that there is no limit to how many levels deep the trolling might be.

This thread is so absurd there must be recursive trolling going on.

recursive whining 

When, in the course of whining about how horrible one's life is, one begins to whine about how whiny one has become due to life. Eventually this becomes whining about the hypocracy of whining about whining, spiralling off into infinity.

Person 1: *sobbing* You must hate me because I'm so whiny!
Person 2: Stop recursive whining! It only makes things worse.
