Wait, so was "Jimmy Rustle" and this pastebin text the official release from Anonymous? Or an Anonymous impersonator? Who remains anonymous?

And that's the damn problem with anonymity...

I found that pastebin hilarious, I'm sorry to say. Distasteful, yes, but pretty solid trolling.

This was released after the initial one, which named an actual person, but the wrong actual person. It is as official as anything, Anonymous being the set of all people who use the name and all. It's either not possible to be an Anonymous impersonator, or they're all Anonymous impersonators.

Ahh, OK, thanks for clearing that up.

I would have been surprised if the name "Jimmy Rustle" whooshed over insomniasexx's head.

Yeah that one is NOT the release I read! I can be dense but not that dense.
