    Yeah, same. I mean, anonymous people, on a global basis have done some good things, and we can't over look some of the bad that have been perpetuated as well. However, I never really got the whole shtick. The whole 'expect us' specter is thick with Hollywood drama. The whole persona of a hooded 'anonymous agent' in a dimly lit room, setting at a bank of monitors, announcing 'I'm in! Enhance!' is just a little too much.

    Yes, we should conduct our lives online and offline in a private, secure, and as anonymous manner as possible, Yes we should protest governance that steps out of line or becomes over reaching and oppressive. But I think that can be accomplished without donning Guy Fawkes masks and invoking the whole persona that has been dramatized around anonymous.
