Player ganks woman's character, gets beat up by
husband

A Mexican WoW player named Bronco Carson got beat up in real life
by the husband of the player he had been repeatedly ganking, as
well as a few of the husband's friends. Apparently, he'd been
killing the heck out of this woman's character, which is reasonable
enough, although somewhat annoying. The woman started threatening
Carson at some point, but hey, it's the internet, right? They don't
know where he lives.
Wrong! Carson seems to have decided that a good idea would be to
give the woman his address and and ask "if her husband was man
enough to just come meet me to settle this." Um...bad move, sir.
The husband and friends came and beat him up, netting Carson two
broken fingers, a fractured wrist, and a destroyed computer and
entertainment center. The moral of the story: if you're going to
make life hard for someone in-game, don't give them your address
and taunt their husband to come fight you. You are not
prepared.
Note that this story may well be fake, seeing as how there's no
terribly credible source for it -- all the references to it I've
been able to find trace back to this story on Fun Tech Talk. Grain
of salt and all that.
P.S. Just so we're clear, beating people up isn't cool, especially
when it's three against one.
