deletist

A person (most commonly an administrator of a site) who likes to delete other people's posts. It's not always warranted deletions, but sometimes they're deleted because they don't follow some set of lame guidelines that has no relevance to the real world, but always gives the deletist a reason to erase facts and interesting comments for his own pleasure. These people are most frequently found on sites like wikipedia.
"That annoying deletist has yet again deleted my repeated attempts to add information for wikifascism on wikipedia!"

Defeatism

What Neo-Cons and their supporters accuses people who disagree with their disastrous foreign policy of.

Defeatism is a frame word that is thrown around with no knowledge of the person who's being accused of it.

Often used by Pro-War Supporters who in denial that..

1. That Iraqs WMD claim were fabricated
2. Deny that this is part of a Growing war over the last non-renewable resources.
3. Deny the current status that Iraq is in and continue to get angry at anyone who tells them otherwise
Labeling someone that disagrees with you as having Defeatism is cowardly. It's best to turn away from these kind of political Sucker Punches.

Deletist

One who uses Social Media, such as FB, Twitter, etc, to cause ill will, or otherwise "stir the pot" toward an issue, or a person, with false information--allowing enough time to plant doubt, or end friendships...then quickly deleting his/her posts, in a series of post-delete-repost sequences...designed to hurt a particular person, and/or, their reputation.

This type of "Deletist" is both cowardly, and dangerous--loyal only to himself. Anyone that 'crosses him/her', will be subjected to his campaign of lies and deletions.
The Deletist will come out from under his rock only long enough to hurl lies about his perceived enemy, leaving the post only long enough to gain attention, then delete, and run back under his rock....mocking the 'fools' that believe his lies.
