Me and my big mouth...

So while playing America's Army today a hacker came on the server (it was blatant). I started trash-talking him and tk'ing him until he'd leave. He got pretty steamed eventually so I posted my address and told him to come find me so I could show him what real combat is like. He laughed, said he was from Seattle and would be happy to. Then he left.

Now, I've done this before, no big deal; but this guy was a little more whacko than most and he might actually be stupid enough to come try to mess with me. I'd hate to actually have to hurt someone over something this stupid, so I'm seriously hoping he thinks this through and lets it go.

If not, I may be posting a link to some personally involved news soon. 8-(

You know if he was crazy he wouldn't have to confront you directly to make your life miserable. So despite your macho I'm-so-tough-i'll-try-to-start-a-fight-with-anyone-even-people-over-the-internet attitude, he has the upper hand.

Maybe you should take a break from the game if you get that worked up over it.

My home address.

I'm not very worried about my house or myself, I just don't want to have to hurt somebody over this...I mean, how stupid.

So you wouldn't be worried that this wacko has a gun too, and wouldn't mind taking pot-shots at you as you walk out of your home?

Well, generally, after I tk them for a while and let them know what I think of idiots who hack (like that I'd be happy to rearrange their anatomy over it), they go away. It's not fun for most of them if it looks like it's getting real. I'm not particularly worked up, I was more or less running through a script that's had good results in the past.

Or maybe the hacker thinks you intentionally gave him an incorrect address and would actually shoot the wrong house altogether.

Heh, I'll put money on the outcome if it were to come to that.

Not very. It's a great neighborhood, no real cover for someone to try that, very open, very busy. And I'm just about the most aware person you'll ever meet. He'd either be very good or very lucky to surprise me. Unless he plans on sniping me from the roof of a building a block or two away, he would be hard pressed to get the drop. If he's going to go that far, then there's no reason to worry about it since he'll obviously win. *shrug*

Not really. I'm always armed, my doors are secure, and I'd never open it without knowing who was on the other side. I'm so security conscious anyway that I'm almost a different species. And now I'll be just a bit more alert than usual.

I dunno about that. You DID give out your real address on the Internet.

Talk all the sh!t you want on the internet but never everevereverevereverever give out your address to someone you just pissed off. If for no other reason than to preserve your peace of mind. That said, I hope he just let's it slide, you wouldn't want to make the news over dumb sh!t like this.

And if the guy is waiting for you hiding behind your car or on the side of the house, it doesn't matter how aware you are. Hell, he could probably get up on your own roof and take aim as you walk out the door.

You're very arrogant if you think you're so impervious to harm.
