As long as we men get to keep our urinals, they can make up names for whatever they want.

I'm in my late 20s, a male, and I feel old as fuck. I really do sometimes feel anxious about turning 30, not because I'm afraid I won't be pretty or whatever, but because it puts into sharp relief what I've accomplished so far in life and begs reflection on whether I spent to much time partying, or chasing tail,…

It was snarky, but he kind of has a point.

Is it really explicitly based on age or attractiveness?

Did you read my post?

The only way I compared Amanda Todd and this girl was by saying that they were both relentlessly bullied after the initial crime (blackmail in Todd's case, alleged rape in this case). The alleged rape happened 18 months ago... if you believe that there was another significant traumatic event that…

It warrants repeating, since people are so inclined to forget in their hilarious race to see who can applaud Anonymous the loudest. :)

You honestly believe they're not going to release the names to the public regardless of the police do (which I can't imagine will be much, since they already performed a year long investigation and collected all the evidence they could find)?

I don't agree with the comparison.

In this specific case?

I'm honestly not sure there is one that's fair and just. The justice system isn't perfect, but it always prioritizes the accused over the accuser.

Fair enough.

Fair enough.

True, but as with the Adria Richards thing, you can't really go out and say 'Here angry people, here's all the information to harass and track down the person you're upset with... do what you will with it' and then plead ignorance when it leads to harassment.

Fair enough.

Not really. You either endorse the principle of vigilantes operating outside the legal system without any accountability, or you don't. It's a pretty simple notion.

I'm aware Anonymous isn't an organized group.

Actually, I'm 100% right and will continue to use that example because it's so perfect.

Agreed!
