e-tractive 

Being a personality that is attractive to others who converse with said personality through chat.

Tim found the person in his favorite mIRC channel e-tractive
because they exhibited a great deal of interst in him. He felt spwcial to be picked from such a large group. The new perspn's e-tractiveness was impossible to ignore.

etractive 

Thanks to digital media and knowing your "good side" you too may be one of the pretty people, or "etractive," since you'd only be as handsome as your posted pics.

"I always take 3/4 view photos because I'm etractive. Otherwise, people would see that I have this rancid, oozing scar on the other side of my face."

R(etroactively) A(mended) P(urchase) E(xperience) 

A retroactively amended purchase experience is when a company changes the terms of the sale, after the sale. Companies can do this nowadays because most of us use cloud software, otherwise known as SaaS, Software as a Service. Since we have to connect to someone else's computer to USE our software, they have the ability to deny us access to this software without accepting new terms, that they can change on us at any given time. Since consumer protection in the United States is a joke, they face no consequences for doing so.

An example of this can be found with Adobe when they changed the terms of the sale to include terms allowing them to look through your content.

Or when Adobe took software you paid for, and disallowed you from activating it. perpetual licenses are not perpetual licenses as long as you must connect to someone else's computer to use what you paid for.

I really liked my $400 baby monitor, but now I have to pay extra for features it came with because the company did a R(etroactively) A(mended) P(urchase) E(xperience). I feel RAPEd!
