Anyone got a short synopsis of what it is all about?

To make a loooooooong story short while keeping it 'G' rated, some punk kid offers to sell 'brand new' gears to another member of the forum. The guy is sent a check which was cashed, then demanded more money than he originally asked for the gears. The kid was not only insulting to the buyer, but balked at sending the merchandise, and when he did send the gears, it turned out that they were used gears. Instead of offering appologies, the punk continued flaming and insulting other members of the forum including the buyer. Members of the board dug up all kinds of personal information on the punk and posted it on the forum and threatened him in many different ways. The punk kid still acted like a complete tool and later after being threatened with bodily, financial and reputational harm, offered an insincere and inflammatory appology.
The members of the forum took the kid to the woodshed, some went a little too far, and the kid most deservedly needs a major arse whipping. The bashing and mostly sophomoric crap went on for 70 some pages before the mods closed it.
