As much as I dislike the -chans, they appear to be actually taking up a good cause on this one. Attack without mercy, gentlemen. Godspeed.

I disapprove of any form of illegal harassment, no matter how reviled the group that it's directed against.

Guess I'm the rear end in a top hat.

Normally I would agree that such harrassment is low, pathetic even, as in the individual Anon harrassment profiled in that Fox News report, goofy as it was. However, the CoS has earned it. Between being scam artists, censorship advocates, hell, even murderers and borderline Nazi-esque elitists, something should be done, and regular legal action doesn't seem to work thanks to the CoS lawyer squads.

I don't think I ever laughed as hard at a news report when I heard a guy claiming to be a real reporter actually used the term "epic ****", and then saw this:

So you honestly think that by doing absolutely nothing, they're just going to go away or something? Scientology isn't going to get LESS popular anytime soon, so people might as well gently caress with them a little bit, which must be done in a capacity where people probably won't get sued like everyone else who fucks with them. Cue the internet, the last really free place in the world, and even that's eroding.

You MIGHT want to censor the l-word, I don't know how strong the mods come down on it these days. Since you were quoting someone else, I dunno, but...V:)V

I'm sure if you google around, you can find some stuff.

On the subject of the *chans.. I know nothing about them, and I think this would be the best place to ask.. why would they post child porn "ironically" and then go after a pedophile?
The popular idea of channers (or /b/tards?) that I have seen, is that they're 15 year old kids who get off on lolicon and have hard drives exploding with kiddie porn.
Is this really the lesser of two evils?

I actually wonder this about the chans myself. What's the deal with the child porn/lolicon stuff? On the Chanology site, I noticed Anonymous puts it in the guise of "free speech unconditionally" followed by a presumably "ironic" (pass the CP). Do they honestly believe that poo poo? :confused:

I'm so confused. O'Reilly, 4chan and the SA community all on the same side? How? Why?

Someone's going to have to update the Bible with an extra chapter or or something, when forces that are typically hated can all come in agreement on a single issue like this, it deserves record for all times to bear witness to.

The only way this could get crazier is if Westboro Baptist Church went picketing out in Clearwater.

If you want to show your friends on Facebook that you're supporting Anon without adding your name to a group you could always set your profile picture as this:

That's what I've done and quite a few people have asked me about it. Good way to get people interested.

Done. Thanks for this. 'Course I joined a couple groups too, which in a way defeats the purpose, but still. :hfive:

I think it was posted on the previous page. No one seems to care. Project Chanology is still up and the people who want to help out are still helping out.

Yes.

And whatever happened to that raid that was taking place today?

Yeah. I think there's by far a bigger net gain between an increase in active people and a shift from DDoSing and the like to more legit activities than the loss of 711chan.

Mr_Mister posted:

you know the ironic thing is?

This all started because of some idiot on 711chan thought that it'd be cool for everyone to raid Scientology on his birthday. *sigh*

Yeah. I know a /b/tard who CLAIMS he was one of the people to initially get behind this but has since pulled a 711chan and said there's no hilarity left in it anymore and that anyone who thinks this'll do anything is a retard virgin Japanophile living in their parents' basement (roughly paraphrasing).

He's pretty much an rear end in a top hat. I think any channer who thinks that nothing will come of this just because of where it started or the fact that their hearts aren't in it anymore are clueless, jaded, and rather self-absorbed.

Keep it up everybody. We CAN make change.

I'm not even sure what the anonymous movement is about. So, before I can say if I want it to succeed, I need to know, specifically, what's its trying to do.

Is it to distribute copyrighted material illegally? Then no, I don't want them to succeed. If it is to raise awareness of the beliefs of Scientology? Then I don't really care because I don't differentiate between one persons beliefs and any others. Is it to cause DOS attacks on servers? No, then I don't want them to succeed.

At the end of the day, I can't say I agree with them until they specifically dictate what they are trying to do and the methods they are going to use to achieve them.

Are you reading the thread at all? Jesus Christ. It's been said many times over that the goal at this point for the majority of us is to expose Scientology as it stands as a pyramid scheme cult that destroys lives and supresses rights. It's got nothing to do with beliefs, other than jokes about Xenu and the like. There are obviously going to be idiots who keep up the catchphrases and illegal activities, but that's not what most of us are about.

According to an article in "Het Parool" the total number of members in Holland, is now below 100!

"Scientology Netherlands is currently encountering difficulties on
numerous fronts. Sixty of the estimated 150 active sect members
decidedly turned their back on the "church" based in Amsterdam's
Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal in recent months. They found the sect far too
strict and too expensive."

Would you call this a "press request"? I'm not a member of the press, but on the P&T site there are separate emails for autograph requests, press requests, webmaster, group sales, and corporate bookings.

For the record, if it's actually Penn who reads the email or if he does eventually, I'm about 85-90% sure he'd remember me.
