parroting
take a simple 1-dimensional opinion, be it for or against something,
and repeat/spam the thread with that single opinion. back it up with no evidence, just keep repeating it until you are the center of attention and all discussion is destroyed. after all, its not an exchange of opinions/ideas that counts, as long as you freeze a conversation utterly and change the topic to "do you or dont you agree with ME". when confronted either repeat opinion again or cry about freedom of speech and respect for others' opinions.
(an example would be too long winded and im sure most know exactly what im talking about since this idiotic tactic has run rampant here)

A strength of parroting is that it's nearly unstoppable and practically unbannable!

keep quote out of context.
glaze over someone's post and take a quote out of context.
rant over what you thought they said only to be corrected.
up till this point i think most of us have been guilty. i know i have.
its quite embarrassing but we're only human.
but then....
once corrected, rather than admit that you were mistaken, ignore them and
repeat the same rant over and over, based on the out of context quote which
was clearly pointed out. (see parroting)
