The TAO of Ganging Uppers and Chess Cheating
Ganger uppers are persons, whether child, adolescent, or adult, who enjoy the unfair advantage of attacking another human being along with other persons. You see them on the videos waiting quietly in the sidelines for just the right moment to jump in and start savagely kicking, punching and stomping on a human being who had been fighting one on one.
Why do they do it? One is that they derive sadistic pleasure from it. Another is that they imagine they imagine themselves as gaining prestige. Yet another is that they think that the person that they are attacking deserves to be attacked in that way in order to be taught some lesson. Or it can be a combination of all these motives.
Unfortunately, this kind of abusive mentality can be manifested in all areas of life. One example is in online chess where they use computers to make the moves for them in order to gain an unfair advantage. Banning them or blocking them does no good since others seem to immediately take their place.
Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
