Well, I can't think of anything which will convince people to moderate their opinions about computer "hackers" better than website defacements and threats.



Agreed. They're not needed here. We don't need a legitimate grass roots movement dragged through the mud by having Anonymous involved.

The conspiracy theorist in me thinks that the Anonymous brand is so tainted and awful that subversive forces might be using it to undermine legitimate protest by associating it with a hostile, criminal group.


Anonymous means well, maybe, but they drag Aaron's legitimate causes so far down into their muck. We have a chance to have some good come from this, but not with wankers in it for the lulz.
