Sentencing Colborne under the Mental Health Act, Judge John Bevan QC said he was "clearly dangerous" and his "extraordinarily violent fantasies" were "seriously concerning".
"You have been consumed with rage at disparate individuals and groups and you write in graphic terms of bombing and butchery," he said.
"You are, I regret to say, a warped individual who in the past has held views of your fellow man which were repugnant to right-thinking people."
"Many people have unpleasant childhood memories, but they move on and grow up.
"Your extravagant self pity has made your life a misery and your family's life a misery too."
Under cross-examination, Colborne said the planned attacks were "angry rants" while he was off his medication for depression.
The court heard he was "sane" but had a personality disorder with a degree of psychosis which warranted continued treatment.
As a result of the case, Colborne's brother and mother were no longer speaking to one another, the judge said.
