22 Oct 06 - 10:33 AM (#1865635) Subject: BS: Web Rage From: Old Guy 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.... |

Isn't it strange that I get a phone call from 'someone' the moment I go online?... And this 'person' doesn't respond when I pick up. Hello?... Terrorism comes in many forms, and is, inescapably...

Hey, my rule in the cyberworld is never to say anything that I wouldn't say to someone if I were sittin' across from them... ...down to a guy I offered a free karate lesson... He quit with the bull real quick... But, seriously, the internet scares the heck out of the establishment because information and ideas are out there faster than the PR folks can manipulate them... This is gonna be good for the world one day 'cause it will get the world more tribalized and that will be very, very good for mankind... Actually, Bush's dumbass ionvasion of Iraq might one day be looked back upon as the last stupid war... Why???... ...'cause during the mad-dash-to-Iraq there was a wealth of information that contradicted Bush's claims right here in cyberworld.... Next time around Bush, or whoever is proposing a new shiney war, will have to contend with more folks who know the real deal... Bobert |

Skinheads read skinhead papers before, and now they visit skinhead websites. Same I'm sure goes for the religious right, neo-cons, Hamas supporters, Al qaeda supporters etc. You might walk out the virtual door every day of your life without ever going near the virtual library. |

22 Oct 06 - 09:58 PM (#1866127) Subject: RE: BS: Web Rage From: GUEST Nothing new in terms of the warning side. To quote from Dick Gaughan who is very much an old timer on the Internet (even if he doesn't seem to use Mudcat much) "Do not say anything to anyone on a newsgroup that you would be afraid to say directly to their face if they were a 6'6 240lbs ex-professional heavyweight boxer carrying a baseball bat and accompanied by three unmuzzled Rottweilers and a posse of very short-tempered bikers. You never know, they might be - and they might live just round the corner from you. Get the idea? So be as courteous and polite as the circumstances call for." |

23 Oct 06 - 10:15 PM (#1866888) Subject: RE: BS: Web Rage From: Bee I'm not sure how one would deal with web-enraged tattoo artists at ones door - engage them in a discussion of the merits of various forms, perhaps? Is tribal more honest than trad line art? Is it just faddish to use Chinese characters unless one is Chinese? Do Celtic knots unravel as one's skin ages? Is vi'lent a really a good colour, or will it clash with everything else? |
