After thinking about it, I think my hypothesis about a potential
link between griefing and austistic tendencies was wrong. (Being a
computer-person / engineer, I may well have autistic traits myself,
and am certainly not a griefer.) Griefing, of course, is primarily
caused by the ability for someone to grief, combined with anonymity
- neither of which are easily attained in the real world. Hence,
griefers are attracted to VWs.

Has anyone every done a study (formal or informal) of VWs and
noticed if there are any styles of VWs that griefers are
particularly attracted to?
