A few years back I had to go see a guy who was 18 and had told me in a private message he was gonna 'kick my head in' if he ever got a chance because he had gotten banned ... he subsequently got the opportunity and elected not to do what he had promised .... we seem to have far too many keyboard warriors whose reality is a virtual one .. well, that is until another reality comes a knockin' and then ... the harsher reality seems to hit home.
The guy sh!t himself but his father had come to the door and begun spouting off, and at that point ... the kid realised the consequences of his actions because he had completely lost control of what was now going on between myself and his father.
The kid was fine all the time he could act out the long distance big man but when it came to it and he had to back his sh!t up, his world folded in.
I am certainly not saying this next bit for effect or for any reason other than it being a harsh wake up call for someone like breakwell ... the father of this kid didn't like the fact I had gone round his house and had insulted both of them and he then decided to turn violent ... he wasn't a fighting man and realised as much as he was sat on his arse in front of his own son.
An embarrassing and shameful position to be in especially in front of your own son .... I shudder to think how the father reacted after I had gone in terms of turning on the kid but maybe I'm assuming too much there in believing the son would have taken some real sh!t from his dad.
Hopefully the kid got a few slaps ...
