I'm not sure if anybody mentioned this at the time - but I was just thinking that with some of the "arguments" we get around here - maybe people ought to be careful what they say? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/n...re/7636821.stm
So the Police in Germany arrested a man they suspect of coming over to Britain and stabbing a man he had argued with on an internet forum!! 
"Officers in England and Germany said the arrested man knew the victim through an online games forum. "
"Mr Pyke, (who was murdered) originally from Stowmarket in Suffolk, ran a web forum for the Nintendo game Advance Wars on which gamers could chat online with each other about tactics, characters and plots."
So could this happen here......?

On that forum, we simply decided that we were better and cooler than that, and it wouldn't happen.  Quote:

But there have been some pretty acrimonious "debates" around here - with people making threats - just this morning I saw Mike Money threaten to slap Mark Latimour...

So Bruce are you worried that you might get punched by Ken Smith?

So he would be the last person on my list - I would be more worried about some of the "kidz" who have been humiliated by being shown to have been "economical with the truth"!!

Maybe he thought the police don't use the internet and would never make the connection...?

Since they ask me that question a lot. |

Maybe it will become a new TV Cop series : Forum Police
Coming to you soon.....

My. Pyke lured the German man here to rob him of his new breakthrough computer technology and got stabbed when the German man defended himself
