I really think for once Anonymous guys should shut up and find another cause to defend, because If they wanted to harm the currently insightful ongoing debate on the handling of the Aaron Swartz's case they wouldn't do otherwise. And btw the actions of Aaron Swartz were not even remotely comparable with the reckless behavior of Anonymous. All this can do is make Aaron Swartz guilty by association in the mind of the average person when she hear about the actions of Anonymous. It doesn't serve any meaningful purpose.
- wildranter 14y agoThe guy killed himself for something greater then you. So what are you standing for anyway? As far from as I see you're just saying a bunch of words instead of doing something meaningful like he did. Man up or shut up.
- derleth 14y ago> Man up or shut up. This is sexist. That's why you lose.
- wildranter 14y agoAre you saying a gay man can't be a man? Because, that's not what I said.
- reinhardt 14y agoOh FFS with the sexism police in HN
- GHFigs 14y agoThe guy killed himself for something greater then you. No. One thousand times, no. He killed himself because he wasn't emotionally equipped to handle the situation he was in. That's why anybody does it. What he thought he was doing when he did what got him in trouble is a separate argument. Acting like his death at his own hand somehow validates his cause -- or relates to it at all -- is only going to lead more people to senselessly "man up" by making the single biggest mistake a person can ever make.
- MichaelApproved 14y ago"That's why anybody does it." No, it's not. In this case, it's true but to say that it's why anybody does it is wrong. Many people throughout history killed themselves for a cause.
