I really appreciate the brutal honesty of your initial comment! Of course there is a vandal in every single one of us and those who say otherwise (or downvote) are in denial.

That may be true of many, but certainly not everyone. I find most vandalism to be pretty morally reprehensible, since it does damage to another person or to society as a whole, for no benefit besides momentary enjoyment. I have significantly more compassion for a thief than a vandal. (Of course, these feelings would be somewhat proportional to the degree of damage caused.)
