They're letting him continue support now, though the original thread made by the moderator Dale remains for some reason.
You remember when Anon grabbed the EXIF data off that pic of the girl that was having, uh, relations with her dog? And how Anon proceeded to call her family, friends, and school to tell them about these pictures, and send them copies of it? And faxed them to her principal? Yeah, this is most certainly how Anon rolls. God I'm sick of people acting like 4chan is full of caring individuals or something. Maybe they really are, but they aren't on the internet.
All you people saying this is clearly CoS framing Anon, just stick to/. alright? You obviously haven't even been to the chans.
This is a clear debunking of the rationale present in this post.
Or he actually has been on/b/ and/i/ for a long time? I like that you're only looking at it from the side that you want to believe in.
I don't know anything about the CoS to be honest, but you obviously don't know anything about the chans. Ever since the very beginning of these protests, plenty of anons have absolutely hated them, like I do. I do because I see them as a representation of the influx of all the kids from myspace or gaia or wherever that have found 4chan and tried to fill it with all of this pro-moral nonsense. Anyone that has lurked on 4chan for any length of time can tell you that is not what 4chan is about.
I don't care about the CoS at all, but I do care about the media attention these protests are getting the chans. I like 4chan the way it used to be, it was hilarious. Full of stupid shit, no question, but funny. I don't want all this crap coming in. Not that it'll happen, I mean, I want lithursday back too but that won't happen.
If you look at my userpage you'll notice I've posted on this discussion more than anything else, and you know why? Because this pisses me off. People like you acting like you know anything about 4chan, and just trying to get behind some anons protest of CoS because it makes you feel like you're part of something or whatever. You can take that somewhere that isn't 4chan.
I don't see how me having more comments would make a difference. My account is relatively new, so even if I had 1000 comments, you'd just say I was reg'd for this (though that would be ridiculous, unless you think the CoS regs accounts on/. in preparation for these kinds of things).
Anyway, that's my point. You can't pretend to know who is telling the truth here, and given the kind of things that go on at the various chans, you can't exactly say this is beyond Anonymous' means.
It was. There was a thread about it on both 4chan and 7chan at the time.
Yes, I know scientologists could've made those topics as well, but you have to realize the argument you're trying to make. They could've been anyone, that's the point of being Anonymous. Choosing when they're scientologists and when they're not to fit what you want them to be is not very compelling.
Mod this down however much you want, but you need to understand there's no reason that it could not have been these same people.
Anonymous is the same group of people that regularly engages in raiding http://habbo.com/ , a site full of young children, with avatars that are always black with an afro and usually attempting to replicate a swastika with their respective avatars.
Not that causing seizures is the same thing as using obscenities and generally harassing children, but it's not a wholesome activity.
The fact that these Anonymous blamed it on ebaumsworld makes me think that almost beyond a shadow of a doubt it's the same people. Blaming ebaums is standard practice for the *chans. If you're trying to imply that the CoS is impersonating them to give them bad PR, I find it extremely unlikely they would've spent enough time researching 4chans raiding habits enough to know this, and even if they did, I doubt they would have done so. It wouldn't fit their purpose.
There isn't an edit button for a reason. Also, almost every article receives mainly useless and redundant tags. For example, this article has been tagged about 7 different ways regarding it being old. Give it enough time and hopefully those tagging articles in such a way will be banned from tagging anything at all.
By the time this monitor comes down to the point that you could afford it (I'm assuming you don't have much more than about 700 to spend if you haven't nabbed a 24" by now) there will be something far newer and shinier available.
What's with the !oktoberfest tag? I mean, yeah, oktoberfest is over, and this article isn't about it, but I think that kind of applies to just about everything.
I know, someone was actually going to give them a large sum of money, too. I'm totally lost as to how this could have happened.

If you're willing to look at it as an investment of sorts, and that the potential "payout" is absolutely enormous, I'd say it's a fair deal. Not something at the top of the list to keep in a depression or anything, though.
There was a big one in Germany not too long ago either.
It's not like shootings happen all the time in the U.S., that's why everyone gets so riled up about them. Maybe they occur more often here, but I wouldn't say it's a significant difference.
In keeping with the rest of this thread, how could this post possibly be modded off topic, let alone be the only post in the thread modded as such? It's a direct response to a question presented by the parent post which is, itself, not modded as off topic.
Not even going to post as AC for this because it's so absurd.
Well, I'll paraphrase his post for you so that you might understand.
"Google sucks, how have you not figured this out yet? It only serves to further the interests of its stockholders.(something which may be argued about every company on the planet, how insightful) Quit talking about Google and use other search engines since Google is so obviously evil (although I have provided no insight or evidence as to why this might be the case)."

Modding an unmodded post as overrated is a great way to have a discussion, Anonymous mod.

Wouldn't they be obligated to prove that any global warming is indeed caused by human activity, and not a natural occurrence?
I've never willingly given it up, but I've certainly had it taken from me.

Yeah, they couldn't order pizza without the phones, I guess.
Will it run Crysis--er, I mean, linux?
Is this the same tournament that Grant from Mythbusters was helping kids out with?

I'd hope everyone on /. would know what a .mov is by now.
Haha, wow, yes! That's the one. Man, I forgot it was actually immortality. How does this not make the list?
What happened to that asian guy selling those two big screw-looking rings that promoted health, or whatever? Was really big about 10 years ago.
