When a troll continues arguing in a flame war thread that is long dead as both sides have made all of their points and have stopped caring.
Offenders are typically crying for attention, with have low self esteem and attention deficit problems.

Pseudo-intellectual 1: Well I don't want to say too much on the topic, but: ... (5 paragraphs of opinionated rant).
Pseudo-intellectual 2: I support this, and would like to further add: ... (3 paragraphs of rhetorical questions and half-baked psycho-analysis).

Ring-in: This isn't really my argument but in my opinion both sides are wrong. I don't want to say a lot but... (10 paragraphs of literary quotes, topical allusions and first year philosophy diploma name dropping).
Observer: Doesn't this ring-in know that he's blogging a dead horse?

1. The 'Dead Horse Vibe' occurs when there's a difference of opinion and both parties don't want to back down from their views which causes an annoyance which in turn makes both parties feel awkward but they still try and act like nothings wrong.
2. Another meaning of the 'Dead Horse Vibe' is where people/friends have been hanging out/sleeping over for a long duration(1 or more weeks) and eventually everyone runs out of material(things to say) and wants to go home which creates a weird feeling but everyone still continues to try and act normal.

Example for meaning 1:
Guy1: Hey did you see that cool movie?
Guy2: nah I didnt like it much, its lame
Guy1: Thats your opinion but still... why dont you like it?
Guy2: I dont have any reasons for not liking it
Guy1: I didnt say you needed a reason for not liking it, I was just asking a simple question
Guy2: I dunno I just dont like it, why do you care?
Guy1: I dont care but still you must have some sort of idea why you dont like it

Henry: "Yeah bro me and my friends were all sitting around a fire, just beating the dead horse!"
Joe: "Be careful man! If you beat the dead horse too much you could get a 90 degree angle cock from that!"
Henry: "You only get one life joe, live it up."

To continue trying to beat off a horse when it clearly isn't going to work anymore due to lack of blood flow.
Dude: I was out beating off a dead horse last night, but may hand started to cramp up, so i just went home instead.

Beating a dead horse is alot loke selling out- you just go a bit overboard with it. If people say you're beating a dead horse, you need to stop what you're doing ad re-evaluate your decisions.

The eighth book in the Harry Potter series. All copies of this book will be invisible to everyone except the owner, due to illegal book sharing, so everyone has to get their own copy instead of borrowing others, seeing as J.K. Rowling is a poor, struggling artist who needs every bit of profit she can get... right. (sarcasm, for those who didn't recognize it)
Person 1: OMFG! Harry Potter and the Dead Horse is coming out! Gee, I wonder why it has such a weird title... what do you think?
Smart Person: personally, I think it's no use beating a dead horse, like J.K. does... jeez, it must be fuckin' horseburger by now... figuratively speaking.
Person: Oh. I still don't get it.
Smart Person: See what I mean...
