Ivory Tower Syndrome

A state of mind sometimes found in academics and intellectuals who become so wrapped up in their intelligence and their studies (their "Ivory Tower") that they become disconnected from the rest of the world. Often produces attributes that make for unpleasant social interactions, ranging from severe shyness and introversion to arrogance, haughtiness, and pride.
Dr. So-And-So used to be such a great person until they started working in academia. Then they started losing touch with the world around them and developed a severe case of Ivory Tower Syndrome, and now they think everyone with an IQ less than 120 is an "ignoramus."

Internet Badass Syndrome

An affliction that causes people to say things to people over the distance of an Internet connection that, if they ever DARED to say to a person in a face-to-face conversation, would likely result in them getting knocked on their ass and maybe a trip to the hospital, but behind the safety of their monitor where nobody can physically touch them, they can behave like complete and utter shitbirds with no consequences, because as we all know, the Internet isn't real, of course, and the person you're mouthing off to isn't a real human being, with emotions of their own.

It is closely related to the similar affliction that causes people to become total sociopaths when behind the wheel of a car, where they are similarly safe from physical retribution.
If the technology were invented tomorrow to make it possible to punch a person in the face over TCP/IP, Internet Badass Syndrome would vanish almost overnight, and the Internet would be the most civil, polite place ever.
