Our somethingawful friends who handled the "P-P-Powerbook" story were a form of e-posse...
Nothing on Wiki, but basically it boils down to bands of internet users sharing information to either prevent or avenge some form of "injustice":

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/06/23/attack/main559834.shtml
Unless I'm misinterpreting the use of the word "posse".

But what could we ban together to do? Perhaps find and kill the person that came up with RadsQ01 or whatever that particularly piece of adware is called.

A well equiped and well fiananced "e-posse" could take down such online groups as the CAA, Stormfront, AFA, and others.
But since none are that powerful, most e-posses satisfy themselves with e-harassing idiots who join their message boards.

I think SomethingAwful has taken care of that CAA for us already.

Even as the devout Christian I am, that website was just plain hilarious...the review of Ninja Scroll made it sound like Snuff (for the love of God, don't Google that...), and I was more than a bit unsettled by the idea of referring to the presence of a Shinto shrine in a rape scene as possibly offensive to Christians...
