ELM MOTT, Texas - A Navy man who got mad when someone mocked him as a "nerd" over the Internet climbed into his car and drove 1,300 miles from Virginia to Texas to teach the other guy a lesson.

As he made his way toward Texas, Fire Controlman 2nd Class Petty Officer Russell Tavares posted photos online showing the welcome signs at several states' borders, as if to prove to his Internet friends that he meant business.

When he finally arrived, Tavares burned the guy's trailer down.

It's a good thing that guy didn't live in his moms basement.. then 2 people would have been left homeless.

Naaaaaah, have no fear. Or at least little fear. A twue nerd would find some devious, nasty way to do it all long distance. Photoshopped pictures, altering the credit history, you know....

thornhappy, who'd probably just tow the trailer away

Yeah, well at least the "nerd" won't have to worry about a roof over his head, for the next 7 years.

I have little patience for deviousness. Nerdboy is where he belongs, playing girlfriend to some 300 pounder named Bubba.

This was a facetious reply to what I thought was your (humorous) feeling of fear of merely posting a reference to the event.

I was being "funny" regarding being afraid, thornhappy; I apologize if my response was harsh.
