Sir, You are a Knieveling Scoundral 

TigerHawk gives a righteous fisking to a wild attack on Michael Crichton's new book State of Fear which goes off the liberal reservation on the issue of global warming. Mr. Crichton's view, expressed in a lengthy author's note is that mankind's activities probably have a part in the slight warming we're undergoing, but that it's significance is unknown and unknowable at this point. He feels we do not need to start wearing banana leaves yet. This has made some people unhappy.

In the comments section I proposed that we need a new word. "Fisking" fit a need. The need now is one word to describe a vicious, scurrilous, dishonest, hysterical accusation of another person's viciousness, scurrilousness, dishonesty and hysteria. I propose 'knieveling' since the old guy came out of the courtroom after a judge dismissed his defamation suit and called the judge a 'bimbo'. I can't wait for the first post fisking someone for knieveling.
