DOTA trash-talking leads to real-life beatdown

Link

DOTA is a video game full of trolls and asshats. Trash-talking and ad hominems are part of every DOTA game. Do you think the kid desrved it?

Personally I do because there are times on the internet when I just want to goto the person's house and give them a lesson for being so idiotic.

Discuss.

hahaha that kid deserved it. so glad somebody actually bothered to do something about him.

I play Heroes Of Newerth (aka the real DOTA2) and I used to play DOTA off and on. I really wish I could do something like this to some of the people who play...:P

DoTA is really lame, and so are people who take things online THAT seriously.

Damn, he must be one hell of a troll to have warranted a beating. Or maybe the only one people have tracked down. Trolling and haters are the reasons why I don't like DOTA.

The notorious DOTA community is part of the whole experience. If you take insults personally, your playing the wrong game.

Nah, he didn't deserve it, they're just somewhat psychopathic.

No, just shows how some people need to get a life, the fact that they got so mad to the point where they physically hurt someone is beyond stupid.

scary... how easy is it to track trash talkers? not that I do it... just asking.

Why yes, annoying people online totally warrants assault and battery.

Somewhat wondering if it'll be worth the prison time for the psychos who actually tracked him down over this.

I can't stop thinking about Jay and Silent Bob and how they tracked down trolls and beat them up, :lol:Wiffle_Snuff

What thats just stupid.

Are you sane? Breaking fingers is a just punishment for trashtalking?

Ah well, that little prick will think twice before being a little prick online. And if those older kids are caught, they'll think twice before beating up a little kid.

Assuming he has a facebook or has one with a real name and info and not an alias.

[QUOTE="Pixel-Pirate"]

[QUOTE="magicalclick"] Just Bing his screen name. Something will come up. And double check using his IP address, you can get his location pretty easy. But, mostly, just join his facebook account, which he will surely click accept.magicalclick

I guess I'm paranoid enough and anti social enough to not use Facebook.

Or hide behind 7 proxies/keep a weapon on hand.

I hope they're locked up for a really long time. No sense in that.

It does disturb me how many people here suggest that it's okay to assault people for upsetting you to teach them a lesson.

You are not the police. Vigilante "justice" is not tolerated.

Good, hate people like that kidIm_on_a_boat

Idiots.......all of them.

Pretty immature for the guys who received the trash-talk if you ask me. Me? I'm a DotA player and trash-talking is really in the zone. I trash-talk, depends on my mood, and I also experience being trash-talked, kinda okay for me. No hard feelings.

Oh bro you play HoN?! :o

the kid didnt deserve it no matter wat he said

Sandvichman

I hope someone comes and breaks you fingers, then you will know how it is.

Let me see if I can work this out:

1. A kid got hurt because of...some reason, doesn't matter.
2. I'm on a Boat is glad this happened, because he thinks the kid deserves it.
3. You (Sandvichman) thinks I'm on a Boat deserves to be hurt...for thinking the kid deserved it.

So, wouldn't #4 be a third party thinking you also deserve to be hurt for thinking I'm on a Boat deserves to be hurt? Or something like that.

Nah they should have kept it all online. They should've maybe hacked into his facebook, or email or something to get revenge instead of taking it outside of the internet world and breaking the kid's fingers.

Ah well, that little prick will think twice before being a little prick online. And if those older kids are caught, they'll think twice before beating up a little kid.

Hey yeah. Perfectly said.

Ceraby

Or they could of not been immature and just taken it instead of getting mad.

Seriously, if you go to that much trouble to find and hurt someone because they trash talked you, you have mental issues. Not even "You may". You do, period.

Sociopaths. That's all I have to say.

they not sociapaths, just bringing togethr the internt and reality. Sum ppl still think the two are seperete. Ppl need to take moar ownership ov wht they say be it online or elsehwere and take the consequnces of wht they say as if they were on the street. Say, if someone cussed you momma to your face, you'd have a response? well, these guys had a response too. and this will get more prevelent as the internet becomes mainstream in all its facets. its warning for internet warriors;

back up your trashtalk wiuth real life muscle or shiut the hell up.

wht cud be more simpler

I agree, everyone needs to be beaten down once in a while...it builds character.

If you actually go around beating up anyone that offends you in real life as well, yes, you are a sociopath or someone with severe impulse problems.

i dont, but sum ppl do. thts the point. on the street ppl are aware of this, wqhich is why it doesnb't happen as much on teh street as it does online with such mismatched characters. I'd say, esxsentially somone oin the street who trashtalks random ppl is a sociapath. the point i am, making is there is an ever decresing distance between online and realife and this perhapds is an example of this happening

:lol: I shouldn't laugh but-

"tracked him down at school and broke his fingers"

reminds me of that guy who got killed in CS then found and stabbed the guy who killed him in-game...I hear he stole his level :|
