You'd think Anon more than anyone would understand that. You can't defeat a troll this way.Glerken said:

Hoo, boy.
The WBC has absolutely no clue as to the magnitude of what they've done. Calling out Anon is quite possibly the worst thing you can ever do. Now we wait to see if they respond.

Actually this was probably a brilliant move on the WBC's part. They're attention whores, and now they're going to get exactly what they want, media coverage on all the major news channels, interviews, etc. The best thing anonymous, and in fact everyone, could do would be to ignore them.
IMO, anonymous is like Cerberus in ME2. Sure, there are a lot of bad things they've done, hacking social network accounts, stealing information, generaling causing trouble on the interwebs. But then they also troll Fox News and support Wikileaks, so I can't say they're totally bad. Let's go with chaotic neutral.Tankichi said:
They're hiding behind religious freedom laws which allow them to be just as misanthropic as Internet trolls. If everyone that the Westboro Baptist Church insulted were allowed to seek retribution, (or if they said all the things they said in the name of a political or philosophical agenda, rather than a supposedly religious one) the Westboro Baptist Church would swiftly cease to exist. It's just an unfortunate side effect of having a free society.Saltyk said:
lol they're too busy. It's true, they're fighting a war, they have bigger things than other troll groups to worry about. But I kinda feel sad, I wanted to see something happen here. But, I guess I never really expected it to. Westboro doesn't exactly fit into Operation Payback, at any rate I'm glad they've promised to come back to Westboro when they have free time. That'll be a nice lol or two ^.^
I'm of two minds on this.
One, I really dislike those pathetic attempts at Christianity. If they took even one of the classes at I take at my college it would blow their little pea-brains how ignorant they really are. They ( and people like them ) are the reason people don't like Christianity and give me funny looks when I say I'm a religion major. Plain and simple: I want them to get their ass handed to them. Hard.
On the other hand, people like the WBC thrive on attention. Perhaps it's time to give them a cold shoulder and no more of our attention. While few people agree on all of their methods or beliefs, there are plenty of people who share some of their beliefs to a point. Their radical actions galvanize others and encourage homophobic, racist, and anti-conservative-christian values. The less attention we give the WBC, and people like them, the sooner we can be rid of this kind of hate.
Overall, this seems to be the spasms of an entity all to aware of its own impending demise. Too frightened by the fact they've lost their influence over America they're lashing out at any attention they can get. Counter-protesters are ruining their anti-semetic shouts at showings of "Fiddler on the Roof". Hell's Angels are providing free security at GI funerals. Simply put WBC doesn't have the voice or interest they used to.
I'm also sitting back for the show, partly because I usually find Anon's antics amusing, but mostly because I think we are witnessing the end of this hateful organization. That is, for me at least, a very cheerful thought. ^_^

Wow,these anonymous guys really like to act don't they?I get that they apparently support free speech but apart from hacking,what have they done?It doesn't take much to lie and even less to claim deity status as they seem to have.
After living in a small, retarded town for college, nothing hicks do really surprises me anymore.
I give them the attention I give Scientologists: None.

You know something Anonymous? I actually don't agree with you on most things (especially that snow fiasco) but this time you've got me on your side.
Man the WBC is seriously doing something wrong if they've got biker gangs and now Anonymous after them as well. Who's next? God and all His Holies?
