The victim of this bizarre crime runs a haunted house at Waco ...

"...the 2005 blaze that caused $50,000 in damage to his trailer and computer equipment."

Expensive computer.

Puleeze. Both of them are whackjobs. It’s easy to insult when you’re anonymous, and if you’re on the receiving end, it’s also just as easy to turn the darn thing off. I have witnessed some pretty heated arguments here on FR, and those even had a point. I don’t think any of them has ever ended so badly, and this one is for nothing.

what hotheads.

[BlackVeil]

A poster on the more anarchic LF forum (where wild threats and deranged posters are common) said acidly about the $50,000 claim: more like $5, does he post here?

[BlackVeil]

That guy in your post has a real problem with his computer ...

I AM DARTH NIHILUS

[BlackVeil]

Both of them are whackjobs.

I think that the Haunted House guy is an innocent victim. He got caught in a feud with people who posted to his site, disputing his tastes and political views.

However, the other guy, definitely a nutter, has a disconcertingly important job.

Tavares took leave from his post as a weapons systems operator at the AEGIS Training and Readiness Center in Dahlgren, Va., and started driving.

I hope they don't let him back near any weapons.

A Navy man who got mad when someone mocked him as a "nerd" over the Internet climbed into his car and drove 1,300 miles from Virginia to Texas to teach the other guy a lesson.

Lesson learned: Dont mess with a Navy man. :-)

Actually he got off easy. The guys lucky that it wasnt a Marine he messed with or it would have turned out alot worse. :-)

Remind me never to post an invitation to “Flame away”. ;O)

[org.whodat]

The question of the hour, were depends found in his car???

[Squantos]

I’ll burn yer house down, shoot yer dog and and and ........yeah right.

DOH !

[Larry Lucido]

Don't piss off a swabbie, er, sailor.

Ducking for cover from sit-rep.

[hiredhand]

Because of my "day job", I know that Internet "anonymity" is a false perception at best and that it's always possible that somebody I aggravated "show up on the doorstep".

That's why I have always liked your tagline...

Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you meet.

If somebody says they're coming to burn the house down, isn't it prudent to believe them? I mean, it couldn't hurt. Sheesh...what a nut job.

[Larry Lucido]

Why did I ping myself? Sheesh!

[hiredhand]

No love for Sit-Rep?! I just can't picture him coming to burn your house down. I can somehow imagine him raiding your beer cooler though and then peeing on the lawn. :-)

(ducking as well!)

[Squantos]

I think that the Haunted House guy is an innocent victim.........I disagree somewhat.....if ya have a web page or forum ya have to just ban the disruptor's and be a professional webmaster. They come back and do it again ya ban em delete their posts etc ......

You toy with an idiot you are just as bad as that idiot if you don't keep your cool and follow simple standard for all who use your site.....

Post the rules, follow the rules and avoid the fools.........

IMHO this Arsonist is NOT gonna let this drop if he went to this extent over a simple exchange of words. His own stupid acts cost him a lot but if he's dumb enough to try and burn the guys house down over a picture or getting banned. This guy in Waco is a dead man walking when this water-head gets out of prison. This crazy SOB will travel to make his point no matter how warped his mindset is ......he proved it.

[Larry Lucido]

I can somehow imagine him raiding your beer cooler though and then peeing on the lawn. :-)

Just as bad!

[Squantos]

Yep...... I think as stated in my post to sit rep etc that we’ll read more on this when this weenie gets paroled....:o)

[hiredhand]

Keep an eye on your beer cooler! :-)
