Especially when the Internet is involved:
A Navy man who got mad at being mocked as a "nerd" over the Internet drove from Virginia to Texas to teach the other guy a lesson.
Authorities say Fire Controlman 2nd Class Petty Officer Russell Tavares burned the other man's trailer.
Tavares this week was sentenced to seven years in prison after pleading no contest to arson.
John G. Anderson of Elm Mott suffered smoke inhalation in the 2005 blaze.
The feud started when Anderson, who runs a haunted house near Waco, joined a picture-sharing Web site and posted his political views.
An attorney for Tavares says his stop in the Waco area was a last-minute decision during a trip to visit his parents in Arizona -- and he never meant to hurt Anderson.
Tavares was discharged last year from the Navy, where he worked in Dahlgren, Virginia.
