Caveat Commenter

A cautionary tale, via MediaPost:

Woman Travels 200+ Miles to Kill Internet Commenter

Forget all those pleas for civility based on simple respect for other human beings. There’s an even better reason to watch what you say about other people online: one of them might just snap and try to kill you. And don’t assume simple things like distance or sanity will protect you.

These are the lessons of the saga of Breana Greathouse, 25, who drove several hundred miles from Kansas City, Missouri to Ottumwa, Iowa, to shoot a certain Forrest Jamison, whom she blamed for posting derogatory comments about her on the Internet. Fortunately her Midwestern odyssey, which the Coen Bros. might want to consider adapting for the screen, ended in failure when she was arrested by Ottumwa police for waving her gun around like the unhinged maniac she is.

Hey  – no reason to get all judgmental about it.

And no reason for the splendid readers of Campaign Outsider to worry.

The hardworking staff doesn’t own a gun.
