WoW Woman Gamer Sends Her Husband to Beat Up Taunter

'...I didn't really expect her husband to come looking for me. I couldn't have been more wrong.'

Can't blame the man if this had been the case

Bronco Carson is a World of Warcraft player from Mexico who liked
to taunt people in-game. Wondering why I'm using Past Tense? It's only because after harassing a woman in-game, the husband came up to his house with two other blokes and kicked the living you-know-what out of him, for "making it hard for her to get far in the game."

According to funtechtalk.com, Carson went to the Police on Saturday, claiming that the woman had already threatened Carson online and that he had already been constantly harassed in-game two weeks prior to the attack. He told the truth about how he kept harassing her and that he encouraged the woman to send her husband over if she had a problem with him: "if her husband was man enough to just come meet me to settle this," giving her his address too. God! What was this guy thinking? Was he drunk?

The quote doesn't seem to be posted correctly, but I'm not entitled to make any adjustments. Moreover, I'm sure everyone's getting the big picture here. Anyway, Carson didn't think for a second that the woman he harassed would actually send her husband over, not to mention friends. But she did. The outcome: two broken fingers and a fractured wrist ending with totaled computer and entertainment center.

That's pretty much every aspect taken care of: fingers broken, computer totaled... Spells "no more taunting other WoW gamers" to me.

Carson's final statement in regards to the unfortunate happenings... "I knew that I might be messed with in the game but I didn't really expect her husband to come looking for me. I couldn't have been more wrong."

Indeed you couldn't Carson...

I don't agree with the methods persay, but the guy had it coming. What kind of idiot repetitively irritates someone, and then gives that person his/her REAL address?! It takes a huge lack of common sense for something like that, or complete naivete when it comes to the internet and the many different people found on it. Personally, as an MMO player myself, I find it a nice warning to the enormous number of folks that behave the same way in the games I play, maybe stories such as this will shut a few up.
