Griefers love to make life miserable for others. They stalk the newbies in online games and make absolutely sure
that the fresh face has the most miserable experience possible. Sounds fun, huh? These leeches and bottom-dwellers are
now getting the kind of exposure that makes them disappear into a dark room with a hankie. cnet's "Inflicting pain on
'griefers'" digs pretty deep into what makes these losers tick. While I appreciate psychoanalysis as much as the next
guy, I can tell them why these people do what they do. They suck. They have no life beyond the chair they sit in. They
wouldn't know a good deed if it saved their miserable lives. Actually, on second thought, saving their lives wouldn't
be a good deed. Can you tell I just got my butt kicked within seconds of signing on to World of Warcraft? All in all,
the piece is a worthy read. Especially if you want to know what's being done to curb the problem.

dregs go away.
