The Ham Hightail is the favored argumentation strategy of Philip J. Rayment at A Storehouse of Knowledge, who is known to drive otherwise sane people over the edge with his creationist arguments. These basically consist of ignoring all inconvenient facts, making massive point-by-point rebuttals involving constant use of a quote template that sets his opponents' words in small green type, and (when all else fails) pulling Goddidit out of the hat.
