this artical had me laughing hard, on another site I had a troll following my every post and threating me and my son so I called him out and told him to pick a place and we'd settle things up, big suprise...he never showed so I had a few friends help find out who this guy was and as luck would have it he came to our local track and I just acted like i didn't know who he was till I got him alone in the parking lot, he was about 30 years old tatted up from his neck to his ankles and I came around his car and cornered him and the look on his face was priceless ..he just looked at me and said hello Godfather,he and my family turned out being great friends and has helped my son out in his BMX racing and come to find out he and my son had been friends a long time, so lesson learned ..my bad I took an internet joke to heart but all is well now

London (CNN) -- Curtis Woodhouse earns a living punching people in the face, so it's fair to say he's one of the last men you'd hurl insults at if you saw him on the street.
But people tend to be a bit braver once they don the anonymity cloak the internet provides, and the 32 year-old English boxing champ faced a flurry of ugly abuse from trolls online after he lost his most recent bout in March.
One particular troll, @Jimmyob88, had been harassing the boxer in tweets and in direct messages for six months, according to Woodhouse. "He'd threatened my children saying 'be careful where you send them to school,' he threatened my wife. He'd written me saying he hoped I'd die in my next fight so I could go and see my dead dad ... it just went on and on."

I am tired; my heart is
sick and sad. From where
the sun stands I will fight
no more forever."
