I hate them all.

exactly I agree 100%

Since there is no unified group one could really call Anonymous; it depends on what the particular group of people is doing at a particular time.

Huh, almost sounds like a lotta far right-wingers I know.

Mob of fools using the brand name "Anonymous" for their own causes.

Isn't Anonymous the definition of edgy

Oh, yeah. The 4chan Neckbeard Brigade sitting behind their laptops stuffing their face with doritos.

At the very least they could be doing more vigilante shit instead of shutting down gaming networks.

What do I think of a loose "group" of capable hackers with varying moral compass directions?

If they keep to productive and socially beneficial work then I don't see a problem, such as wiping ISIS networks out.

I kinda like the concept, sort of. It's intriguing in some ways.

It's not like their fighting ISIS or anything.

They actually are...

I view them as outlaws.

Many hipsters claim to be a part of them.

Actually the real origin of the V mask was an inside joke that had nothing to do with V for Vendetta, it's when they realized that the mask was a good way to protest without getting IDed and the symbolism that could be used from it, such as the end of the movie having everyone in masks representing everyone, that they adopted it.

They should be banned. They are a threat to public order and have been involved in numerous crimes against the state.

Just because you ban it won't make it go away.

Drugs and guns will attest to that.

Strawman?

Explain what it is you're going for. No one claimed a ban would make Anonymous go away.

Taking your reasoning to its fullest extent, "banning murder hasn't made murder go away, let's legalize it."

Firstly, there are a multitude of reasons for bans as there are benefits for bans. Secondly, if only bans that can make the banned item/action/organization go away are acceptable, there would be no bans on anything.

It's fine if you want to disagree with banning anonymous, but if you're going to maintain that position then justify it with something other than flawed reasoning.

If you want to actually make a statement, you shouldn't be afraid to let people know who you are

Maybe if you live in the US. Not so much if you live in Shanghai or Riyadh.

Still, a bunch of people hiding behind computors aint the same as someone openly standing up.

You are aware the shit they do is already illegal right? What in the name of fuck would your ban even do?
