I don't know much about anonymous, but it's actually a pretty good letter...except for the penises in the hornets nest thing. Had to double take that one.

- BoppreH 16y agoThe letters are written by individuals trying to make the collective follow their orders. It's inevitable that the letters that surface are the ones that made the bigger impact, and to get there they have to be well written. The penises and hornets nest thing is just to show the world how edgy and cool and free Anonymous is. I find amusing that many news websites and channels will display the full letter, penises included.

- tzs 16y agoThe biggest double take for me was when they called GeoHot a "fellow hacker". Excuse me? GeoHot is a hacker. Anonymous are script kiddies. Big difference.
- wtallis 16y agoWhat makes you so sure you know where to draw the line? Hotz is in the same kind of legal trouble that motivates Anonymous to be anonymous. And give that they are anonymous, how can you be sure that they aren't otherwise respectable hackers? Or is it your belief that Anonymous' tactics are unacceptable in a way that disqualifies their members' otherwise acceptable hacking work? From Sony's perspective: Anonymous is going after their website, but Hotz is undermining their actual products! Who's worse, particularly when neither had much direct provocation?
