  • Yeah, same. I mean, anonymous people, on a global basis have done some good things, and we can’t over look some of the bad that have been perpetuated as well. However, I never really got the whole shtick. The whole ‘expect us’ specter is thick with Hollywood drama. The whole persona of a hooded ‘anonymous agent’ in a dimly lit room, setting at a bank of monitors, announcing ‘I’m in! Enhance!’ is just a little too much.

    Yes, we should conduct our lives online and offline in a private, secure, and as anonymous manner as possible, Yes we should protest governance that steps out of line or becomes over reaching and oppressive. But I think that can be accomplished without donning Guy Fawkes masks and invoking the whole persona that has been dramatized around anonymous.



















  • I haven’t noticed many posts deleted by the user themselves. I see a lot of ‘deleted by user’ comments. I try to remember to put [SOLVED] on any serious post I make, after the fact. That way, someone searching can cross-moginate whatever their issues are with what solved the issue for me. Maybe the user deleting the post once it was solved is embarrassed they asked a supposedly ‘stupid’ question?
