Not sociopaths, not psychotics - SADISTS.

Actually, annoying internet people can be quite fun. I do it on MapleStory. But I don't do it to a long extent or do anything that could actually ruin someone's game.
Maybe I accidentally linked to an older article, but I did see one in a paper copy of SciAm yesterday in a bookstore.  Possible they just forgot to pull an old issue from the shelf, but I doubt it.
Oops!  Wrong thread.  I was referring to Scientific American from my other recent thread.
