Watched a video of some guy who got totally pwned by Anonymous on Youtube. Paul Fetch is his name, and apparently, he offended Anonymous in his videos. One of his videos was supposed to be of him declaring war on Anon, or something like that. This video is no longer available on Youtube.
Another video of his has over 5000 comments, presumably from members of Anonymous.
These days, all sorts of people use the name Anonymous to do anything they want without fear of consequences, simply because it has become an established name of a random group of random people. But because of the novelty of the randomness of this group, people don't seem to understand that Anonymous is merely the sum of all internet users. They have no specific purpose. What gives Anonymous the notoriety is the part that consists of all the losers who vent all their frustration on the net. They are the ones who give prank calls, the comment floods, Youtube flag abuse and etc.
On a scale of 1-10, the morality of Anonymous is 1 to 10. On the scale of 1-10 for their violence in real life, 0. Despite all their death threats and blah blah blah on the net, no one has been killed by Anonymous. Thus, most of what Anonymous says is just talk.
The news articles make Anonymous sound like a coordinated group, gang or society (Internet Hate Machine ROFL!! Nice one Fox LOL!! Now you are a real life hate machine because of all the hate you're inciting against Anonymous with your inaccurate reports written by people who don't understand them!), but this is not correct. They are more like a loose network of people who visit many internet forums, especially the #chan imageboards, and post things anonymously. In the case of the Operation Chanology and such, it started as someone who spammed posts of comments that incited hostile feelings against Scientology, and somehow many people were affected to the point that they acted together.
It is like some guy screaming stuff on the streets, saying things that will work up the passersby until they form a mob. And in this case, an angry mob.
There is no rule for Anonymous because as long as you even read the forums where people post anonymously, you are part of it. And you quit the day you stop visiting them. Nothing more.
So in short, the part of Anonymous currently working against the Church of Scientology is merely another mob, except this time they work mainly in the Internet and hide beneath a cover name - Anonymous. Seriously, the majority of the /b/tards don't care.
