Tangentially, I always found the discussion flow on image boards interesting because of the "anonymous chorus" of replies.
It creates special patterns: cryptic references to spot non-initiates, people role-playing a straw man and replying to themselves, shunning people using confirmed user names, etc. There is jargon for all of this but it is too offensive for this venue.
