A case of... web rage?
« on: October 17, 2006, 08:30:41 pm »
I guess it beats road rage:

Quote
An internet user has been found guilty of what police said was
Britain's first "web-rage" attack.

Paul Gibbons, 47, tracked down John Jones using details obtained online
after the pair exchanged insults in an internet chatroom, a court heard.

He travelled 70 miles to Mr Jones' home in Clacton, Essex, and beat him
up with a pickaxe handle in December 2005.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Calm down, Newby. It was just the handle, not the axe.

It woulda been funnier if he traveled 70 miles then got his ass kicked.  :(

One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.
