disruption

(Noun)
Buzzword used by Silicon Valley gurus, often in conjunction with innovation, as in 'disruptive innovation'. It's supposed to sound cool and radical - like revolution - but it's also terribly empty, so technies and entrepreneurs using the term constantly have to explain why the digital world is so disruptive, compared to like the Industrial Revolution. Which is where it all falls flat.
"We are creating a 3D World, where Data and Digital combine to Disrupt current business models. Only when that happens, you actually see Disruption at work."

While, I don't condone anyone doing anything to get themselves banned, I understand how angry people can be, over all of this. Until SOE (as a whole) does something to prevent Yuyoy's continued disruptance of a server, then there are going to continue to be angry, paying customers dealing with this jerk, the only way they can.
