Make no mistake, it's funny. But the reason I can laugh at it is because it's not being done to me. Lord knows I'm not a high profile player in whatever online ventures I do anyway. Sometimes though, they go just a bit too far, like that shopped image. Did she really deserve that?
Problem is, griefers don't listen to stuff like "piss off, wankers." If anything, it prods them on even more. So really the only way to get them to stop is to do the same thing to them. In WoW that's easy, you just kill them. But in communities like SL, aside from banning them which isn't really effective, you're only left with the choice of hacking back. But then, who really has the know-how to do that? I doubt even half of SL's users know how.
It's like watching websites get hacked. If it's somewhere else we'd be all "haha poor ____." If it was RR though, then it wouldn't be so laughable now would it?
