I can not agree. As far as I can see you try to justify doing something
unacceptable to another player. And your only excuse is that it is fun,
for you.  Apparently you have not given a thought  to how the victim of
your fun feels. I consider that extremely selfish at the least and more
likely cruel, if not outright evil. And yes I have hounded down players
who did this kind of things the few times I became imm on a mud.  Maybe
I am vindictive, or vindicative, but I do not condone cruelty or tortu-
re on a mud anymore than I do outside it.
