Man jailed over web rage attack

Quote:

A man was jailed at the Old Bailey for Britain's first web rage attack on another internet user.

Paul Gibbons, 47, traced John Jones, 43, after they exchanged insults in a chatroom. He was armed with a pickaxe handle and was with a man with a machete.

Mr Jones, who had gone to the door of his home in Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, with a knife, was disarmed and had his neck cut by Gibbons.

Gibbons, unemployed, of Southwark, south London, was jailed for two-and-a half years for unlawful wounding.

Oh no, ban the internet. Ban chat rooms!
