Last Word Syndrome

A compelling need to be the last person to speak during an argument or conversation; finishing an argument with a response of immaturity typically consisting of either repeating the last thing you said over and over until the other person stops talking, making whiny/baby noises, or childish name-calling.
Person 1: You're such a tool.

Person 2: I'm not a tool. I work because I have goals for myself and I don't mind working hard to achieve them.

Person 1: You're a tool.

Person 2: You just said that.

Person 1: You're a tool.

Person 2: Think you've got some last word syndrome, buddy, later.

Person 1: *Shouting after you* Whaa, why don't you cry about it?

Last Word Troll 

A Last Word Troll is a person in an online forum (typically political but not limited) who claims a desire to end engagement with one or more people who are posting, but in their parting post they attempt to make a further point and/or hurl insults, condescension, etc. at others that warrant a response- to which the Last Word Troll always counter posts. This may go back and forth a bit(between 5 minutes and 5 days) with the Last Word Troll becoming increasingly agitated and insulting to others, yet continuing to respond when he/she is called out. The only way to stop a Last Word Troll is to post “I think you are a Last Word Troll; let’s see if I am correct”
Last word trolls are a bane to online forums
