Ah well, it just confirms that goons are weaponsgrade douchebottles whether they're at the bottom or the top of the pyramid.
Anyone who needs confirmation of this is either blind, deaf and dumb, or not paying attention, tbh. At least sometimes the douchebottle-ness is funny. Raining penises in Second Life, anyone? 
Also, it's amusingly ironic that this mess has turned the so-called "victim" into even more of a target than before.
OK, since SL was mentioned - I was active over there when it was an SA/Goon target. Their main tactic was attempted crashes, usually involving a 'grey goo' object (mass replication beyond the sim land's limit). The other common tactic was crashing events using an 'Inappropriate Flying Object' (for lack of a nicer term).
While in the short-term, it made SL a better place (by identifying and plugging the most glaring system holes), it also fostered a corporate structure at Linden that was very wary of its original 'wild-west' style of play. They were trying hard towards an IPO, thus making their fortunes at the mercy of the general public's attitude toward them.
And so began what the old-timers called 'Disnification.' Mechanics used to grief were severely limited or removed outright, in the name of "no one's using it correctly anyway." Certain 'grey area' activities were outright banned instead of restricted ('gambling' comes to mind here). For a while their forum was shutdown, and/or their GD was pulled from it, and/or had external help (I was one of the latter). And now they're stagnating over the past year or more because leadership appears to be going in too many directions (at one point this included layoffs).
Any of this sound familiar?
I have a lot of respect for the SA guys (in a 'good fights' way), but I also think they can get a bit overzealous and cause a backlash among the targeted community. While this is usually the stated goal (it was for certain in Eve's case), I think they may eventually go too far here. And I fear what may emerge from it.
My apologies for the rant.
