A person who is an obnoxious, misguided, and intolerable extrovert online, but a true introvert outside of the web. These people feel brave and boastful, but are true cowards and have no original thoughts of their own.
Konstantine was online last night reading the comments he received on a post he made about neutering feral pets and became furious when he discovered the mean-spirited and overly political hate speech directed at him. He realized it was from his mild-mannered coworker Patrick. He made a plan to confront this extronet at work in order to get him to pee his pants.
