This secret confuses me but 'kerfluffle' always seemed like a word used to describe something really silly and over the top that people were making fun of more than they were participating int.

'Wank' always seemed to be used for people arguing pretty strongly about something and the whole devolving into a mess, and anything 'fail' was when it just started off horrifying and got gradually worse and worse....

I think this is proof that it's futile to have words for each apparent subcategory of drama, because your understanding of the terms is the exact opposite of what I've been believing all these years. I always was told that a kerfluffle was any argument (silly or serious), whereas wank specifically referred to arguments that are silly and eyeroll-worthy to people who aren't invested in them.

Both now seem to be used interchangeably to refer to any and all internet arguments, so I suppose the distinction (if there ever was a true or commonly accepted one) doesn't matter.
