We are no more cowards than any other individuals on the internet.
Or collective moniker connects us, turning us from a mass of directionless individuals, into a well-oiled Internet Hate Machine.

As for your second statement, we’d rather not. It’s no more complicated than that. This cycle has been going on for at least 100 years, and it’s not soon going to change unless House or Stephen Colbert step in, which they won’t, because they don’t care.

I can see your point of view, and accept it as opposite our own. In this occasion it’s best to just go our separate ways.

This is not a threat, but a statement that should be taken well into account.

Anonymous does not forgive, Anonymous does not forget.

We are legion.

This had me in hysterics for ages! Not literal hysterics though, that’s be weird. Since I don’t have a womb an’ all.

Though somehow, the fact that you all call yourselves “Anonymous” seems to imply a certain cowardice. You’re going to berate strangers on the internet without even adapting a name? Is the facelessness of the internet not enough for you?

The intentions that you state are noble, but with all due respect, I don’t see what entitles you or anyone else to decide who needs to be humbled. Whether or not the negative attention is deserved, I say let sleeping douchebags lie.

That psuedo-vanguard that berated you earlier, and in a rather uninspired fashion I might say, hardly represents the creative and powerful hive-mind that is Anonymous.

Those sods could hardly sort out an emo in irc, let alone take on a veritable ‘Bard’, if you will, of the internets.

That said I’d like to apologize, and explain what we act on.

Anon acts on those that need to be acted on. We do not hate on the basis of skill, we hate on the basis of attitude and humility.

A crayon drawing can be ignored if the artist is humble in the fact that his skills are in early development, but the artist that praises his piece of crap as a Rembrandtesque abstract masterpiece is privy to our attention.
A skilled artist with the personality of a tree covered in monkey feces would receive the same negative attention.

We, quite simply, humble those that need to be humbled.

If lulz are acquired and fools crushed under the might of Anon, then our job is done

note: This is fine. I have long dreamed of a day when the Garys of the world will at last unite to form Garytron, thenceforth crushing all worldly opposition.

It’s like an indicator that you have achieved a certain certain critical mass in your audience.

That being said, I never try to make anyone feel bad about something they have created, but I am not an adolescent. Well, I still watch cartoons, read comics, and play video games. I just try not to have the bad bits of adolescents.

It would be cool if everyone could just play nice out there.

Oh and Still Alive was mentioned in http://xkcd.com/, which just makes me smile.

…is it me?

But now I can feel better about keeping subscribed. Which is good so I can read the cool game news. W00t!

1. You’re already using Firefox, right?
2. And you’ve got Greasemonkey, yes?
3. Install the “ft4u - YouTube comment removal” user script.

Good rant though JoCo - looking forward to the song too Use your aggressive feelings, boy. Let the hate flow through you ! Strike them down with all of your chord progressions, and your journey towards the dark side will be complete.

And they say technology is dehumanizing.

Kevin: JoCo’s original rant was directed at the YouTubers who found the video via the Joystiq post, not at the post itself.

Sense: This makes none

Ah well. Still love the song.

That basically sum things up?

I need a cookie.
