Classification for
people who incessantly post heated and insulting rebuttal messages in web forums. Nothing
better to do than anonymously harass others online, it seems. A more productive use of their time would include thinking of ways to kill themselves. Instead, they submit volumes of circular
text that always fails to make a point or debunk the original author’
s statements with any validity.
The exchange can spiral out of control in a few different ways, usually after the original author responds to the comments. Often, the netidiot is incited by author’
s reply, as though somehow shocked that someone they verbally assaulted would
treat them with the same manner in return.
Most notable is the netidiot’
s obvious emotional instability, and failure to recognize when they've been outwit and defeated. Remarkably, they always insist that any
number of other posts that disagree with them are "stupid."
