Internet user admits 'web-rage'

[thworple]

BBC Story (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/6059726.stm) on an argument in a chatroom gone too far!

Perhaps a lesson to all of us to keep insults on Macrumors down to a minimum? ;)

Imagine if he arrived to find a twenty stone muscle-bound freak. :eek:

Now that would have been an interesting conversation.

That is so very London.

Honestly, some of the people in this city. I nearly got beaten up in the East End once for sounding my motorbike horn at a car driver. The fact that he was about to reverse into me and knock me into the gutter obviously made no difference to his view on the matter :p

I'll admit that there's more than a few people on the internet that I'd probably beat with an axe handle.

Starting with the guy that created myspace. <WHACK>

PAYPAL are the worst IMO

PAYPAL are the worst IMO


I second the PAYPAL nomination.

I'm OK with eBay, despite it being a harbor for scammers. There's some decent **** to be found there and it's innovative.
YouTube.. well, there's also decent **** to be found there, despite it being a harbor for copyright infringement and people who want to upload their pointless videos.

no need really mate, if I were to call you a twat or some other incosiderate stuff I would get banned - as would everyone else - macrumors is far too efficient for this kind of stuff - but it is a nice reminder that one should be considerate at all times - even on the web - nice find :)

Ermm..... thanks. I think. ;) :D

[MrSmith]

(From article) Gibbons, a man with a violent past, traced Mr Jones to his home using personal details about himself that he had put online.Some people never learn...

[mufflon]

Ermm..... thanks. I think. ;) :D

also I'm a complete disgrace to human kind - I should have read the article first, then post - not the other way around - thought it didn't involve actually hurting people in real life!

[Apple Hobo]

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

70 miles...that's called being dedicated to a goal.

This reminds me of the timeless Tuff-Guys™ on Usenet who, separated by thousands of miles, exchange threats, yet have no intention of ever carrying them out.

This I don't get

Gibbons, of Southwark, south London, admitted unlawful wounding and will be sentenced on 7 November.

Does that mean there's lawful wounding?

[MrSmith]

Does that mean there's lawful wounding?
I guess that's as opposed to negligence. For example, you're working on a building site and drop a hammer on a passerby. You injure them and they have a right to damages, but you didn't do it deliberately.

That and psychopathic...

Yup. You give your consent to lawful wounding every time you have an operation or a tattoo or a play-fight (or join the army) or enter a boxing match. (tho there's always some debate over the boxing thing.)

Love bites and S+M play (in some legal systems) also count as lawful wounding. Various laws have tried to ban S+M play, but fallen over the fact that love bites would also be illegal under them.

Also in cases of self-defence, or in emergencies where you have to wound someone for their benefit, e.g. pulling them out of a crashed car on fire, that can also be lawful wounding.

Let us hope that this is the case. :)

Nice... I'm definitely going to consider it!

Then it is like and advertisement for the site...remember the Madona principal of marketing - Any press is good press - and as such any mention good or bad promotes the site...just a thought;)

These guys sure don't present a good example of "tolerant people of the Muslim faith." Perhaps it's media spin, but I think people like this are stirring all of the anti-Muslim sentiments around the world.
