I can't stop reading them because they so accurately depict the attitude and MO of a few real life BOFH that I used to work with. These guys, one in particular, would do anything in his power to torture people while averting any blame due to his technical skills. And then openly laugh and make fun of them with the other sysadmins...who all pretty much allowed him to get away with it all or even encouraged it. These stories do not look like fiction to me in any way.
