I find this really quite insane.... But that said I have seen some of the threads in News get really rather heated and have even nearly lost my temper once.

What are your views and comments on this story? Do you think this could happen on AB? (That last one is a bit tongue in cheek!)

Cheers

TeeHee... story made me laugh when I read it... I know I shouldnt ,but still :)

Wow...but then again, the report said that Paul Gibbons has 'a violent past' so I suppose he could've lost his rag anywhere (road rage, air rage...even trolley rage recently).

Can't say that anyone has really got me angry, because I don't get angry at opposing views. Exasperated maybe, but not angry.

But it appears in this story, it went beyond simple name calling...silly old fools.

I wouldn't do it, but can entirely understand how it might come about - and in certain instances sympathise, even certain instances on good old AB.

It makes it all the more important to stress keeping your personal details off the public boards, and to learn when gentle poking turns into offensive assault.

There is one bloke on Ebay who I would like to whack with a stick but I wouldn't go that far.

There is someone who lurks in "b+s" and claims to be a former Captain in the Intelligence Corps that had better beware.

That body and soul lurker was outed not long ago by matt66. He seems to have disappeared now.

Oooh... careful John, don't want to have to read about an AB scuffle over my morning coffee!

[bednobs]

i genuinely thought of john lambert and ward minter when i read this. How do we know it was not them??
I have a feeling someone was stating they were going to track wardminter down

Yea, give 'em rubber weapons and it's a brill Monty Python sketch. Otherwise; not at all funny.

Never mind web-rage before it gets to far i find if you drop kick your computer it relieves the tension. can be costly though
