Grow Up
Many jumping on the Anonymous bandwagon are teenagers with too much time and too little skill. Seeking acceptance and respect from their peers, they are seduced by an alluring sense of community—a mob with no direction, no leaders, no code of ethics, and no cause. Armed with illusions of grandeur, this hive mind trolls about the internet, brandishing the banner of freedom. They fool only themselves. Ironically, the Guy Fawkes mask they wear is intended to symbolize the fight against tyranny; they also believe this mask will hide their accountability. Notwithstanding, they are easily caught with their hands in the cookie jar.
