Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t this seem to be taking it a bit far? Now I’ve been in my share of online feuds. Most last maybe 2 or 3 weeks and then die out of their own accord. But this…..wow. I can’t believe someone would do something like that. Wait, I take that back. Yes I can. Because that is how our society does things these days.

We seem to have become such a volatile society that the slightest thing sets us off. We take online feuds against people we can’t see personally. If someone insults us, we feel the need to bring that insult right back to them. And if they don’t stop, we apparently feel the need to do some digging, find out who they really are, where they are, and do something about it. Whatever happened to simply going to the authorities of the website or chat service you were on? When did we start taking matters into our own hands, instead of getting the appropriate people involved to stop the conflict?

Is an online feud worth going to jail over? I don’t think so.
