15. Nobody wants WBC shut down
Edited on Mon Feb-21-11 02:33 AM by Aerows
they are obviously in it for the lulz and the lawsuits.

It should be clear to anyone with a brain what their scheme is when all of them are lawyers.

3. I was just about to post this, beat me to it
As I stated on another thread, I don't know what they are going to do that will really hurt westboro that much. Crashing their servers seems like a minor inconvenience to this bunch. Maybe Anon has something else in mind.

5. For that post, although I doubt that has anything to do with a church.
Edited on Sun Feb-20-11 08:49 PM by RandomThoughts
What if what they think God says, is not God saying it. Then who would they be obeying? And furthermore wouldn't they be committing the unforgivable sin mentioned in the text that people that write those comments say they follow?

Also why I think each person should decide what is inspired, and what is not.

Dear Phred Phelps and WBC Phriends,

So we've been hearing a lot about some letter that we supposedly sent you this morning. Problem is,
we're a bit groggy and don't remember sending it. Our best guess is that you heard about us on that
newfangled TV of yours and thought we might be some good money for your little church.

You thought you could play with Anonymous. You observed our rising notoriety and thought you
would exploit our paradigm for your own gain. And then, you thought you could lure some idiots into a
honeypot for more IPs to sue.

This is not so foreign to us; as you may have heard, we trade in Lulz. You just do not have enough to
offer right now.

While Anonymous thanks you for your interest, and would certainly like to take a break and have some
fun with you guys, we have more pressing matters to deal with at the moment.

But, we will keep this application on file, and will certainly contact you if any openings become
available in future.

Next time, don't call us. We'll call you.

Additionally, as your "Press Release" failed to understand: When Anonymous says we support free
speech, we mean it. We count Beatrice Hall among our Anonymous forebears: "I disapprove of what
you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

Do some among our number hate you and your cynical exploitation of your human rights for monetary
gain? Of course. But the MoralFags are also the first to admit that they are, in fact, your rights to
exploit.

In closing, let us assure you: We are not BAWWWING sissies, nor are we afraid of your false god;
we're just really busy. Stay tuned, and we'll come back to play another day.
We promise.

To the Media: Just because it was posted on AnonNews doesn't mean every single Anon is in
agreement, in fact in this case it doesn't even mean a single Anon is in agreement. Next time, if you
could give us a few minutes to put all our paperwork in order, we'll be sure to let you know what we're
up to. (LOL)

To Anonymous: It's a trap. They've got their ports wide open to harvest IPs to sue. Don't DDoS, and
boycott Operation Westboro. If you really want to continue messing with them, just send them a few
male prostitutes and faxes of goatse. Nothing more.

(Note: This letter was written by more than 20 Anons, at the same time, and none of them were inbred
family members. Unlike that other, shitty "Press Release".)

We are Anonymous.
We are legion.
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.
Expect us.

14. Bwahahahaha! Phelps is so unimportant he' not even registering on
their radar. That must be a low-blow to his narcissistic ego

8. Dumb question
but - I can see how Anonymous can harm BoA or a huge company (or even a small one) that uses the net for business...what is the Phelps' Family presence on the internet that Anonymous can take down? Do they have some website that sells things or something? Not defending them, and they are vile, but I was sort of wondering what they are going to do to them.

:shrug:

12. They are doing nothing to them.
Anonymous released a statement stating that they were low on their list. They also said for their members to ignore them-WBC will harvest their info and then sue them.

10. I'm not completely convinced...
...that WBC isn't some satirical organization. They are all lawyers and sue the pants of off everyone that breathes, clearly aren't Christians, and started their own religion.

Of course they hope to get media play from a supposed attack by Anonymous, but the truth is, WBC is only as relevant as people make them. Anonymous pretty much told them that, so they can stick that in their pipes and smoke it.

11. "giving another tsunami of coverage to Westboro's message'
They've figured this one out better than most people.


All they want is media attention and it makes me sick that people keep giving it to them.
