'Web-rage' man gets prison term
A man has been jailed for more than two years after carrying out the UK's first "web-rage" attack on an internet user.
Paul Gibbons, 47, assaulted John Jones, 43, at his Essex home, after the pair exchanged insults in an internet chatroom, the Old Bailey heard.
Gibbons, of Bermondsey, south-east London, tracked down father-of-three Mr Jones to Clacton, from personal details he put online.
He was armed with a pickaxe handle and was with a man carrying a machete.
Mr Jones was beaten and had his neck cut after going to the door of his home with a knife.... (See link for the rest of the article.)
A cautionary tale for web-users.

Wanna fight over it? Hertfordshire's only a quick run down the M11, ya know.
No thanks. Finsbury Parks a rough area. Hertfordshire's full of middle class sheep shaggers.
They do some cracking kebabs round your way though.
I may be tempted to cross the pond to the states one of these days though and rattle the jaw of a Republican or two. Wanna join me?
Edit: Just noticed your from Cambridge. Bring it on pussy!
2nd Edit: We've probably rubbed shoulders at Strawberry fair a few times in the past dude.
let this be a lesson to everyone!
