Polling Educators on Griefers

Serena Offcourse led the ISTE SIGVE social meeting this week. Quite a few educators came out to particpate in her activity. She prepared a set of statements about "griefers" in Second Life and we responded by walking into the Opinionator, a scripted Likert scale.

When we walked into areas that matched our level of agreement with Serena's statement, the piechart in the center of the Opinionator created a matching chart. Discussion ensued after each statement. Sometimes there was quite a spread in opinion, which made for lively discussion.

Are griefers mostly teens? Do they add to the SL experience or are they merely an annoyance? What's your opinion?
