Philosopher Attack

The Philosopher Attack is a type of flame war where a terminally bored, yet well educated person or group ambush an innocent bystander or group, who were just minding their own business. This can occur as premeditated invasion, when the group is organized and has a home somewhere on the Internets, or rarely spontaneous, when a philosopher is driven to madness and goes kamikaze.

A good example of such an attack.
