Although this story shocked me, I was not surprised an event of this kind has happened.

Most of us enjoy using forums. They inform, educate, titilate, and add a bit more colour to our lives. But the vast majority of us do not let forums and the blue-yonder consume our lives.

We are lucky to live in a country where the internet is, by large, liberated and free of serious restriction. Will occurances like these lead to more monitoring of peoples internet activity?

I'm sure we have all been pissed off with other members, whom we have never even met in real life, but I don't believe any of us are unbalanced enough to track down and kill an antaginator...

Like all the dumb little stories where someone kills someone else because of one of many different components I have to say that the dink who actually went overseas to kill someone on a forum was already unbalanced and this was only a catalyst. Not evil, not something you should be tightening the reigns on, just someone who was unhinged using something which contributed, not a direct result of it.

And it was me.
