Re: Isn't this taking griefing a bit too far?
Hi, I'm new here. Well, a long-time lurker. This story has compelled me to register and post.
I don't think this incident qualifies as griefing. It DEFINITELY is not a 'bit too far.' This is assault. This is a disgusting act. You seriously need to examine your values if you find this remotely funny in any way. To the guy who is trying to defend himself, your first post said you found this funny even though you knew you shouldn't. That indicates you knew something wrong had happened but still your initial reaction was to laugh. Disgusting!
As someone who suffers from problems which online support can help, I am disgusted and appalled at such an act. I can't be affected by such an attack b/c I'm not epilectic but words can't express how terrible an incident like this is.
To the same person who suggested if this was a skit we'd all laugh... are you serious?! Wow, people in movies are simulated as being killed so I guess it's ok to shoot people? This is not a skit, these are real people with real problems going to a place which is supposed to be for COMFORT and SUPPORT. And this happens...
To the person or people who suggested that the website shares some of the blame? No way! Are you serious? The ONLY people who are to blame are the ones who did this. Sure, security could be better, and probably will, but honestly, wow, there's always ways around security. You can't and won't stop everything. These people set out to do this and hurt people, they are the ones responsible. Nor are the users at fault, for not having the proper software or being careful enough in the place where they go for SUPPORT.
Sincerely,
Graf Zeppelin
