Of course, Or should I let an ED Article do the talking?crudus said:
http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Kenny_Glenn_The_Animal_Abuser - His Abuser of the cat.
TL;DR Version
Dusty was a cat, One day the owners of dusty posted a video on Youtube of Dusty getting abused horribly, So then Anonymous shit their pants in anger, And then tracked down the owner who was a redneck hick called Kenny Glenn, Anonymous saved the Cat and all was well.
A. According to what I've picked up on this, the family member's recounting of what has actually happened is inconsistent. The police, at least, had heard nothing at all about death threats last time I checked. That might have changed, but my impression was that death threats was something mom made up out of whole cloth. We don't really know, though. What I do know (and have seen any evidence of) is Anon ordered a ton of stuff online to their house (including pizza). That is a lot less severe than issuing threats. Not that I don't think some individuals considering themselves Anon are capable of issuing death threats, mind you. I'm just yet to be convinced that's actually happened here.
B. I don't know if the irony in the OP is lost on the poster or not. Advocating the painful death of everyone flying under the Anon banner because of death threats that may possibly have been issued (or not) smacks of hypocrisy to me.
C. The Cracked article is just as widely skewered and subjective as anyone rooting for Anon might arguably have. Keep in mind that Cracked.com is a good place to look for humor, not that good a place to look for facts. Some Cracked writers check their facts better than others, but it's a humor website, not somewhere to look for the truth in things. Somehow, I think the fine gentlemen at Cracked.com might agree.
D. It's worth reminding everyone that there may be a strong child negligence case built here. There's a young girl of 12 here who's been bragging online about her sexual conquests and drinking, and it doesn't look to me like the parents have been on the ball on this one. I don't have all the facts, and can't really make any claims for sure, but it doesn't look to me like everything's right in this family. If this makes social services make a house call to (hopefully) fix things as best they can, I wonder if the good coming out of this may outweigh the bad. Not as though that makes the Anons harassing her heroes; it just paints a less bleak picture. Let's not demonize people.
TL;DR, things usually have two sides, and they're worth paying attention to. Just my two cents.

It was a funny article Cracked often show up how bad a lot of groups are. Yeah though typical /b/
"There was once a dream, a dream that was /b/.Wolfram01 said:
The dream was that all persons, from all lands could be made to live, in harmony, with each other and moderators.
But alas, this dream was not to /b/."
/b/ is the troll haven and shitstain of 4Chan (which is saying something). Don't go to on office hours. Don't go to if you have a wife. The only rules of /b/ are "Do not talk about /b/", "Do not talk about /b/" and "If it exists, there is porn of it..NO exceptions".
OT:I have never supported anonymous or seen them as being "the brave silent defenders." It takes real courage to stand up for what you believe in and not hide behind that giant cowl of obscurity that is the Internet. Plus, half the stuff they do is juvenile.
That being said, the attacks on Scientology was pretty funny. Also not all 4Chaners are bad. Just most. I have a roommate who lurks on there. He is pretty A-Okay.
I don't think that the Poster of this thead or the Cracked writer saw her videos. Sure, some anons tried to get her to expose herself on webcam, but probably less than a hundred of a community well over 1,000,000 people. Her videos contained her proclaiming how she was the prittiest girl ever, and she was being very cocky and annoying. I am not saying that the torment on her was the right thing, but it certainly wasn't the worst that could have happened. In the end, everyone was wrong in some way.
Also, you can't claim to hate all anon for what happened, you are anon if you post on the internet under an alias or pseudonym. Finally, not all of 4chan is bad anons. They do have a pokemon board for adults who play pokemon after all.

THEN DON'T TALK ABOUT THINGS YOU DON'T KNOW!Azaraxzealot said:
Goddamn, This is flat-out ignorance, Go on 4chan and do some damn research, I used to be like you and was too scared to go into the belly of the beast but I went on one of the lesser known boards such as say /s/cience or /v/idya.
Go on the board and meet the perfectly reasonable people on there and stay the FUCK away from /b/, It is basically the worlds most personal playground, Users can get together and compare penis sizes, If /b/ were to explode right now, Where would those people go? They would scatter about across the internet threatening innocent forums, Its better to have it all contained in one place then spread out across the Tubes.
OT: Oh yeah, That girl was a *****, I saw that video she posted, Did you somehow miss it?
Well Cracked isn't exactly the best place for news. I tend to take everything there with a grain of salt. Anonymous isn't exactly a defined group of people. They tend to be people who just hear a story, research it a bit and then take action. The whole thing was more likely started by /b/ and then the death threats and pizza orders were sent under the name of anonymous.
You can't compare the actions of one anonymous with another. They're entirely different at all times.

Not all of anon is jerks and that kid isn't as innocent as she's being made out to be. Read up on the Know Your Meme.
What she did wrong:
1) Do NOT Feed The Trolls!
2) Stop making videos and taunting people if that's the cause of abuse
3) Don't give out personal information to public sites
4) Don't accept friend requests from people you met 1.5 seconds ago
I'm not condoning the actions of cyber bullies but in all honesty, this could have stopped much much sooner if some people were competent internet users.

You're making a huge generalisation here. Anonymous is not some centralised group with clear structures, common goals, etc. so you can't throw everyone in one group. I'm sure there's a fair portion of Anons that don't agree with what happened there.Azaraxzealot said:
I struggle to find a good metaphor since there's very few groups in the real world with a structure (or non-existence thereof) like Anonymous...
Edit: So I watched a bit of one of her videos, and to be honest she was troll-baiting in my opinion. Maybe she didn't know better, but I think even an 11 year old knows that acting like that will get a negative response. I'm not saying that sending her death threats and stuff was justified, I'm just saying that it was foreseeable that her behavior would attract really, really bad responses.
Just a quote to show how "innocent" she is: "I'll pop a Glock in your mouth and make your brain slushy."
