Be careful who you argue with

BBC

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.

Quote:

Gibbons arrived at Mr Jones' home armed and accompanied by another man carrying a machete, the court heard.

Mr Jones opened the door holding a knife for protection, said Mr Adebayo.

A fight broke out during which Mr Jones was disarmed and beaten with the pickaxe handle and cut with the knife.

Never a good idea to post too much info about yourself online if you are going to start an argument with a pschopath :erm:

Re: Be careful who you argue with

I don't know some times it is the right thing to trust people, I met my fella in a chat room :)

There are people on here who I have trusted with my addy and they have trusted me in return

Well there is that to take into consideration, but only after you've spent some time on the webcam to ascertain that she is infact a she, ;)

That's the sacry part, you don't have to give them much to go on at all......

Google is your fried but Whois is your enemy, as far as privacy goes, go on, try it, find a members website, type it into whois and see what you can dig up, just for starters and n00bs, the more serious webaholic h4x0r ( terminology may be wrong :D ) can find a whole lot more :Yikes: :Yikes: :Yikes:
