noun. Being unable to stop yourself constantly refreshing your browser to see if your hit counter or comments section has increased since the last time you did it (i.e. about 1 minute ago). This often occurs when a ‘memorable number’ is coming up (such as a blog’s hit counter crossing 10,000 or 100,000 or 250,000 visitors etc.) or an unusually large surge of posted comments are attracted by an article. (coined by Perry de Havilland) noun. When you just don’t give a damn about posting in your blog that day. (coined by Michele Catalano) noun. A reader who infests the comment section of a weblog, disagreeing with everything posted in the most obnoxious manner possible. (coined by Stacy Tabb) noun. Someone on the extreme edge of whatever their -ism happens to be. (coined by Perry de Havilland) Usage:“Definition of a ‘barking moonbat’: someone who sacrifices sanity for the sake of consistency” Although the term (often rendered simply as ‘Moonbat’) is very popular with conservative and libertarian bloggers who appropriately use it to describe the Chomskyite Left, it was always intended as a much more ecumenical epithet and has been correctly used to describe certain paleo-conservative and paleo-libertarians views. (also see ‘idiotarian’). Note: Contrary to some speculation and entries on Wikipedia (which constantly change to reflect the prevailing wind of the day it seems), Perry de Havilland has stated it was was not originally a play on the last name of George Monbiot, a columnist for The Guardian, as he was using the term long before he met or had even heard of Mr. Monbiot. noun. A personal diary-like blog. Personal journal blogs are by far the most common type of blog. Most have extremely small daily readerships (albeit sometimes very dependble). Also: Diary blog Journal blogs form one of the three primary distinct (and largely separate) cultural groups within the blogging world, the other two being Tech blogs and Pundit blogs.
