Regarding Anonymous, serious question.

Isn't anyone who says they are Anonymous, Anonymous? I have seen things posted here about shitty things supposedly done by Anonymous and people say, well that isn't really Anonymous, but if Anonymous is anonymous......

Anyone whose name you know that says he's part of Anonymous is lying. After all, the total lack of identification is part of their strength.

As for the shitty things, closer examination has proven them not to be so shitty, after all, except the publication of names and addresses of family members of scumbags. Likely the poor families think the target is a scumbag, too.

to duplicate. Copycats are going to look like copycats.

But nice way to miss the point.

wondering the same thing and I remember during the Steubenville rape case, there was something about the twitter name that identified the real anon group. Ithink they use it when they're getting ready to release something.
