UK Gamer Murdered over Forum Dispute
I know our forums have a lot of impassioned people and that you guys don't always see eye-to-eye. If you find yourself contemplating murder to settle a forum dispute like this guy did, kindly step away from the computer and find some professional help. David Heiss flew from Frankfurt, Germany to Nottingham, England and allegedly murdered Matthew Pike over an argument in Pike's fan forum for the game Advance Wars. Tragic.

Police suspect a possible motive may be that Heiss -- who was a member of the forum under the name "Eagle the Lightning" -- entered into a dispute with Pyke online, and actually flew to the U.K. in order to exact this tragic "revenge."
