Probably not something you even want to know. Slightly related to douchebag. Also see for things you might not even want to know: brojuice.

Assparent
Like every pun with ass, this is a good one. Assparent is a transparent or apparent ass showing. Can also be used figuratively, in someone being barely disguised as an asshole. Or a bad parent.
Quora
The internet's self-conscious act of intellectual validity and authority. Unsurprisingly primarily self-centered and authoritarian instead of rational.
Some of the more objective or positive entries might at first make one assume that most people there are not just as insufferable as anywhere else and like any community on the internet, albeit maybe at the same time with an even more all-encompassing entitlement and smug self-satisfaction.
And assume that the triviality of most of the questions would be self-aware and not lost on most of the people.
Highly restrictive, not only in the artificial question and answer format, but also the ultra-strict length limitations and rampant auto-correct functions, Content Review and straightforward censorship.
Moderation is more concerned with keeping up appearances than with moral tasks, consistency and transparency. Sanctimonious, arrogant, prejudiced and irrational and with a cult-like devotion to their brand and policy taken literally and subjectively.
Actual psychopaths, either self-proclaimed in order to effectively show off or those whose practices are harboured there, are the hipsters of the place.

Grammar Rapist
Similar to a grammar nazi, only little different from a psychopathic troll. Might be termed "grammarian rapist" to avoid ambiguity.
Assumes all-knowingness and natural personal "superiority" based on minor or accidental aspects of grammar and personal preferences of style that they might have picked up on a weekend's reading of "smart books".
Will rape logic and invade personal space and basically do anything to "win", no different from any troll, but perhaps with more radicality and egomaniacal pompousness. Only the end result of personal "dominance" and subjective "plausibility" counts, regardless of reality and logical argument.
Is actually incapable of normal and correct argument, and motivated purely by egocentric and predatory impulses, and think they have found the means to act them out.
Will almost immediately make a rapey, predatory attack on the target's integrity itself and unwarranted, overblown presumptions, and harass one only to have the last word. Is superstitious, small-minded and conceited enough to literally believe everything himself, though, and find the whole process "normal" and "natural".
Which it is why it is dangerous and detrimental to assume commonsense and intelligence about anything that is going on.

Grammar nazis might not always be as smart and knowledgeable, let alone relevant, as they think they are or pretend to be. But in the case of a grammar rapist intelligence, knowledge or relevance have devolved into purely personal impulses.

The wrong assumption
An example of the warning and logical criticism of "making assumptions".
One of a few fundamental false assumptions about human interaction and the internet that tend to make everything more complicated rather than simpler.
The assumptiont that everyone would be sane, ultimately have the best interest for everyone in mind, and that any conflict would only be some kind of misunderstanding.
And the assumption that everyone would have the same knowledge and background and that the key to understanding everyone and every single situation would be to take up some common clichés about human interaction or even "key topics" (see trivial "atheism vs religion", although atheism still wins).
Ironically only creates partisanship, stereotypes, and apologists of plainly inane or insane behaviour.
