It is a bad thing because we want the game to be fun. Yes, owning the other team can annoy them, but if we've designed the game right, they won't be mad because they'll know they can win if they play better next time.

Of your list, some of those things we want to remove eventually. Others are just part of playing the game. If you are "distracting" players instead of completing objectives, you are just fucking with them and making them hate you. That's my definition of griefing.
