Poll: So where do you stand on Anonymous and why?

[creager91]

Wait, 4chan is just an imageboard. It isn't a secret club of hackers that fight for justice or anarchy. You guys have no idea what you're talking about. Also, if I hear one mention of "rules 1 & 2" I'm going to go apeshit.

Haha you probably just baited people into mentioning them now, be prepared haha

I personally think somebody should grab a Shotgun/Flamethrower and find out whether those white masks can stop bullets/fire.

Let's see if they can hack their way out of that.

Am I the only one who's scared by posts like this?

OT: Yeah they're pretty hilarious and they seem to do what's right, that interview with the Phelps woman made me laugh my arse off.

Anonymous is all that is holy in this day and age.

What most escapists don't understand is that anonymous and 4chan "anonymous" are two different entities altogether.

This is kind of what I was wondering, can you please elaborate on that?

Anon is equal parts activists with hacking skills (yay) and trolls (nay)

Anonymous is a bunch of people from the mentally handicapped board, banding together to change things. 4chan is an imageboard that includes a series of topics ranging from cooking to firearms.

I think he is. Unless you're being sarcastic. You should really not be sarcastic on the internet.

4chan's anonymous are a bunch of wanna-be's. It could be said in a more polite way, but that's the way it is. Just a bunch of edgy hispters pretending to be what they are not. The other anonymous might or might not lurk 4chan, but they're somehow organized and have clear ideas.

Ok well then I apologize, but Im sorry, if I dont quite understand the message you were trying to convey

 

[Broady Brio]

I stand out of their way.

I don't bother them. They don't bother me.

Why would they bother you? People here seem to treat Anonymous as a defined group, whereas they're just a bunch of individuals that randomly scatter and group if their interests dictate so.

 

[Cobbs]

As long as they keep up with their anarchy thing that they've got going and quit attacking people for the "lulz" then im fine with them existing.
I dont condonde any of their other acts though, although every bit of abse they ish out to the WBC is truly deserved

You seem to have quite a bit of experience with them. Do you know if they have like any actual structure or ANY form of organization at all?

I wouldn't call it experience, but yeah you could say i sort of know how they work. And it's difficult to explain because there's no defined structure. You can't consitently organize anonymous because there's no criteria to use.

I guess that for a reference one could resort to a mix of "V for Vendetta" and "Fight Club"

One thing is for sure though, trolls love to suck Anonymouse's teats. And man am i getting coolio PMs right now.

A bunch of kid craving for attention? I respected theyr attacks on the Church of Scientology. But otherwise they pick theyr fights poorly
