"White Knighting" is a ****ing stupid term anyway. I acknowledge there are some, rare circumstances where it's use could be justified but 99% of the time I see it used by ****ing dickheads in an attempt to validate the fact they are a ****ing dickhead.

Given that context yeah, it's a ****ing stupid term as well as the validation thing, but the act of coming to someones aid should never be considered a negative thing.

It is a perfectly fine term and if you aren't sure what it means. Here is the urban dictionary meaning. It doesn't seem like you two know.
white knighting In forum parlance, it means rushing to the aid of another poster for whatever reason. An accusation typically reserved for when a poster is being hammered by another poster(s) and the accused leaps in to defend them, usually without thinking things through as to why the person is being attacked. I have done it my share of times when I shouldn't have.

Pretty much. All grammar Nazis should be considered Black Knights.
