i really wonder out of all the people 4chan harass as if it's a noble cause how many of those people are the wrong person. internet detectives aren't really that reliable. i want to know an exact ratio. i mean even if it is the right person they're horrible douchebags for harassing anyone but man i really want to know how many people they do this to that are the wrong person.
Yaeh, 4chan is a scary creature. They can go ahead and destroy your internet life and attack you in the real life too without too much trouble.
Back when Gawker talked about the Jessi Slaughter thing, they attacked the site and harassed the guy who wrote the article. Hell, they harassed a psychologist who showed up on a morning news show on ABC (I think) to talk about internet bullying in relation to the Slaughter situation. They never even mentioned 4chan. If reports are to be believed, and it wouldn't surprise me of /b/, they said they should start attacking random people who post comments on those tv stations websites. That's goddamn cyber-terrorism.
