Email Muscles

false bravado
When someone becomes "tough" and "combative" in an email, but never in person, or on the phone. A false show of digital power and might. A manifestation of their own sense of righteous indignation.
Email Muscles
Ninja 1 in an email format: "I asked you for that report last week you never responded, I'm losing confidence in you and your firm & will take my business else where."

Ninja 1 in a phone conversation: "Hey buddy, I know you have been busy, any chance of getting that report any time this week? No rush!"

email chemistry

A notion of a mysterious attraction between two people via email. Most commonly happens with online dating. After reading a profile and sharing pictures, you flirt continuously via email until an eventual meeting takes place to see if true chemistry exists.
I met this guy online and we started emailing back and forth. It was amazing but I think we had email chemistry which only made me want to meet him in person more.
