Just a note on proper use of the word 'griever' vs the word 'griefer'. A 'griever' is someone who is in a state of grief; as in grieving for a loved one lost to the ravages of time or the brutality of an accident. A 'griefer' is someone who sows grief. In this context, 'griever' is misused, and 'griefer' is the right and proper term.
