Miamiherald.com - William Cruz and Yanko Diaz first met and traded insults in a Latin Internet chat room. In real life, words turned to bullets. William ''Cubano35'' Cruz shot Yanko ''Latengoparada'' Diaz in May 2005 outside a Westchester Best Buy. Suspected motive: Cruz was jealous that he was left out of real-life gatherings of chat-room pals. Cruz, 42, now must serve 30 years in prison, a Miami-Dade judge ruled Friday. Diaz, 26, of Hialeah, whose Spanish screen name translates to a phrase indicating his sexual arousal, survived with bullet wounds to the right wrist and the left thumb and buttocks.''You never know who you are dealing with on the Internet. Clever screen names don't protect you,'' said Miami-dade prosecutor Suzanne Bell.  It started in a chat room called ''Cuba1,'' accessed through Latinchat.com.Chatters included ''El Habanero'' (Havana Man), ''La Gata Fiera'' (The Raging Cat) and ''Dura y Peligrosa'' (Tough and Dangerous). Through chatting, Diaz even met his girlfriend, Yosandra Piedra, ''La Villana'' (The Villain). Sometimes, the group met socially, sans Cruz. Diaz said: ``I believe this made him jealous and envious.''Cruz later claimed the chatters ganged up on him because they mistakingly believed he was mistreating a cyber girlfriend from Sweden.

See this is what worries me about the monster I've created with the Stool.   We got so many wackos in our comment section now that have dedicated their lives to hating on me that I never know when I’m going to push one of these crack pots over the edge.    I mean anybody whose sole existence in life is to correct my grammatical mistakes or let me know how much I suck makes me nervous.   So I say this to all the haters who constantly bash the Stool, but spend all day on it.   I’m sorry I’m funnier then you.  I’m sorry that I’m smarter then you.  I’m sorry that I know more about sports then you.  I'm sorry I don't acknowledge your existence. I’m sorry I drive an astrovan and you don’t.  But I’m begging you not to freak out and shoot me at Best Buy.   I’m sure you guys are all awesome in your own right and have very hot Swedish Cyber girlfriends that you treat like a queen.  So please don’t take out your frustrations and miserable lives on me.   Thanks a lot.  I really appreciate it.
