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.
Moral of the story: Be careful who you flame on the intrawebs. You might be beaten up with a pickaxe. Also, don't give out your address. Obviously.

Personally, I'm worried about macgeek200x coming after us.

Edit: Perhaps posting this here was a bad idea... he might come after me next
