« on: October 18, 2006, 10:36:17 PM »
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.

I am surprised this doesn't happen more.
