What a festering

crock

of

SHIT.

4chan is a virtual "penthouse forum" where the most intelligent thought ever formulated starts with "be 14" and where the anonymity provokes not just antisocial behavior, but violence.

We've been raided by /b/ twice and listen close my children - this is not some egalitarian force for truth, justice and the Internet Way. This is angry, antisocial 14-year-olds with no outlet for their aggression other than night letters against strangers.

4chan-grade anonymity doesn't just permit a degradation of human discourse - it sets it as the goal. Conditional anonymity keeps people in line somewhat but total anonymity is the rule of the mob.

This is the shit moot is championing.

I hope that fucker never gets a job.
