Subject: My views & response to Looters & spawn leaders & why...

Just so that people know where I stand on this issue I thought I would post my thoughts on it ,feel free to flame me :).
As people who have hunted with me have probably noticed, I loathe people who take advantage of others & who steal/scamm from others .One of my pet hates are looters/spawn leaders.
Now I know that they pose no threat to me personally or usually to large parties & they know they haven't got much chance so don't normally target me ,but they do target those people with less experience & poor connections .Personally I cannot walk away from a situation where one of these people is operating without trying to do something or at least making it known that they are a social misfit & a real loser .There is even less justification for this sort of behavior in UO than there is in RL .Our characters aren't trapped by the social/economic inequalities in RL society & it is very easy to make money in UO .These people choose to make their cash this way for whatever sick satisfaction it gives them.
Regardless of their motivation I don't feel it is acceptable & I make it clear to them that they are social outcasts & that good people want nothing to do with them
So in summery I'm sorry if I cause griefers to hang around us by giving them a hard time ,but that's the way I am & it is better they bother me/us than an inexperienced person & I will take any opportunity to point this out to them, wherever I run into these wankers ,whether they are causing trouble at the time or not. :)
In saying this,im not trying to imply that people who respond to looters differently from me are wrong,just that i deal with them in this manner.
