There was a story awhile back about a feud in a discussion group where a guy drove hundreds of miles and either shot or set fire to the other guys trailer.

The whole discussion forum thing is ripe for a rework of some of the cool 19th century epistlery style... I think it would be cool to use a noir style set of voices reading their posts as narration while watching them do what they are writing about.... and seeing the nuances... it could even have a light aspect with editing of scenes or as the conversation transpires there is clarification lent to the action...
