E-Knight: A term generally used to describe a forum poster who defends other posters for any number of reasons. The term E-knight refers to Electronic-Knight.
They rise to the defense of the person being insulted, much
like a Knight would rise to the defense of a weaker man/woman in the olden days. The most common occurance is when a
guy is sticking up for a girl, possibly in hopes of starting a relationship or at least trading pics via
email (
