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.

Gibbons, of Southwark, south London, admitted unlawful wounding and will be sentenced on 7 November.

The moral of that one is: don't p*ss off anyone who lives anywhere near you :-p

Although I guess you could send a letterbomb or something if you didn't live nearby. Oh well. I still reckon you've got more chance of being beaten up by a random chav.
