    Thumbs down WoW Player makes threats to blow up plane

    You know maybe we should start a new series of awards to honor people that just do not think… oh wait there is already one of those out. Well ok let’s just make sure that this guy gets on the list for one.

    According to WBIC in Indiana, an 18 Year Old was online playing World of Warcraft when he made a threat to blow up a commercial airliner. Now this is not something you bandy about in an online community that is monitored. You would not even say this out loud in a public place.

    Well you can probably figure out what happened. A Moderator noticed the messages and contacted the authorities about them. The idio… Um I mean the person’s IP was found, traced and the FBI showed up at his door.

    He was interrogated and now may face federal charges.

    His comment to the FBI…

    He was testing a theory.

    And the winner of this year’s award goes to…

    They find a threat made by an 18 year old on a gaming forum credible enough to storm him and give him federal charges but some big name taliban guys send a threat to hijack planes to the US and it's not enough evidence? Wow this world is going to hell....

    No, it makes perfect sense. The FBI knows what a WoW player can do when they nerf Death Knights.

    Don't you see, the reason they investigate threats by 18-year-olds is precisely because the government already let 9/11 happen despite all the warning signs.

    For typing and internet threat? You're an idoit.

    It's only because he is a WoW player that people actually care, because they media loves jumping on the games are bad and they turn your kids into terroists.

    This "TweakTown" "article" is the only thing I can find about the incident - does anybody have a more credible source?

    All of those link back to "TweakTown" - I doubt any of this is true.
