The forum over at worldofwarcraft.com became the unlikely setting for a family set-to yesterday when a WoW-addicted mother caught her WoW-addicted son posting comments at three thirty in the morning:
"Pardon me for hijacking the thread, here.. But, Brion - if you don't want your mother to know you were up and on the computer at 3:29 in the morning - DON'T post on a forum that she reads," she wrote before grounding him
You can enjoy the whole sorry episode here.
Is this the family of the future? At some point, will we abandon noisy rows around the dinner table in favour of flaming each other on chat sites? Would that represent progress? Yes, I think it would.
