I am supporting punching people who talk shit on the internet in the fucking teeth.
It's that statement alone that does it.
"Internet tough guy" doesn't mean "anyone who acts like a jerk", it means anyone who boldly proclaims they would beat this or that guy up or that so-and-so needs a fist in the teeth or so forth; i.e. anyone who pretends they'd be a bad dude and get violent on someone when in real life they would shrink away from such a confrontation.
(while I imagine that's what you meant by "talk shit", there are those who think of "talking shit" as any form of badmouthing someone)
Besides which, based on the way Boll rigged the event, I would suggest that he is just as much an "internet tough guy" as any of the other buffoons you profess to hate so much; he's alright with beating up untrained people but not with a fair fight, it seems.
Honestly, between that and the fact that not everyone (or perhaps not even most of the people) that Boll invited was not really an "internet tough guy", your post really comes off as either really supporting Boll or as the post of an internet tough guy.

Despite what you may think, losing a fight does not necessarily instill humility in people; hell, sometimes it makes them even
more ill-tempered.
(Besides, what if they get called on it and then they
win the ensuing fight? Gods, what would
that do to their temperament?)
