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.

Get the badassmug. A real 'man's man' type of guy. One who has no clutch in his 1992 Chevy pickup truck but still drives it like he stole it even sliding sideways into a parking lot stopping mere inches from the car of the person he was meeting for the first time ever. Nonchalantly hopping out of the truck as if it were a normal everyday way of parking.
