"An internet user convicted of Britain's first "web-rage" attack has
been jailed at the Old Bailey for two-and-a-half years.
Paul Gibbons, 47, attacked John Jones, 43, at his home in Clacton,
Essex, in December 2005 after the pair exchanged insults in an internet
chatroom.
The unemployed man tracked down Mr Jones, a father of three, from
personal details he had put online.
Mr Gibbons, of Southwark, south London, admitted unlawful wounding last
month."
