Memo to Elton Gallegly: We’re gasping on the beach

Anon is a new type of movement in the making.. today it is Scientology, tomorrow it maybe something more important -- who knows. !!
I guess my objection is the same even if it is something more important. What if the 'something more important' is a good thing in the eyes of most, but bad in the eyes of anonymous? Should any group hide under anonymous guise and outside of the realm of accountability for their actions?
My bias is that anonymity is fine for self-protection, but when it switches to attack mode, it's a dangerous thing.
I agree with you wholeheartedly. Their anonymity compromises the goal.
From what I've seen and heard, you're pretty far off in this. The whole "Anonymous" thing is only because the website in which they originated (I won't post it due to graphic content) forces the users to post anonymously. They've chosen to keep this idea in their protests against Scientology. It's not really a group focused on anything, but more of a collection of people with differant ideas. Some have found they share an anti-scientology idea and chose to protest. The ones doing the DDOS attacks and hacking aren't necessarily the same ones protesting, and may not even have anything to do with them.
The ones protesting Scientology are completely unrelated to any other anonymous who does other activities. If you browse the internet, you can see that people using the tag "Anonymous" have been doing many things over the years from hacking websites, to attacking racist talk shows to simply sharing ideas and thoughts.
Cheers,
