    I get what you're trying to say, but I'm also pointing out that it's an irrelevant and illogical point to make. You're saying that it's because they made it, they hold some degree of blame for it and essentially should be held accountable for that degree of blame. Akin to how the person who first created a working gun, should be held accountable for every single death in human history with guns. Or how the people that create plastic bags should be held accountable for any suffocation that occurs with babies. I'm just pointing out how illogical it is to truly view it that way though.

    If you're willing to stretch the blame to that degree, then it should also be acceptable to blame literally every single one of us for the same situation (that includes you and me). We bring these types of situations to light for anyone to read, thus spreading the word that if some d-bags can get away with it, they could too. We bring to light that people react favorably (i.e. get frustrated) to the trolls goal.

    Do you see what I'm getting at here? Reaching to an unnecessary degree to find blame in others, for the actions of specific individuals, is pointless and simply encourages such behavior to continue. "I'm not the only one to blame here. It's SE's fault too for why I grief people. They should never have put those weapons in Diadem, even Xerek agrees that I'm not the only one to blame for my ruining other peoples fun." Condemn it as you have, but that mentality of blaming devs for bad actions of other players (when the content doesn't involve doing such bad actions) is counter to your distaste for the action.
