I really don't appreciate the media's blood thirst - the slayer of this and the killer of that. Why can't we just have something that contributes in a non-zero-sum game?
Real life example: in the 90s, journalists reported on the "Great Hacker War," a "virtual gang war" between two competing hacker groups, LOD & MOD. In reality, the event was a scuffle between some hackers in a chat room, which resulted in some minor hacking, name calling, and prank phone calls. But that didn't make for a great headline.
