I don't know what you mean exactly, but you can only ever write a piece of the larger story. Your frustration, I have shared many many times.

I'm not a member of Anonymous. I'm a journalist who can only work on a few things at a time, so yeah, I "pick and choose." Who doesn't? As to talking about ourselves, this is a question and answer session and we're answering questions. I don't spend a ton of time on internet forums, so I'm assuming this is the "trolling" I've heard so much about. Why so angry?

Deric might feel differently, but - outrageous as the case seems on first glance - I'd be nervous about going into it with the "screw" attitude. As my story in Esquire shows, in these emotional and fast-moving situations, mistakes can be made and people can be hurt on slim evidence or rumor. Anonymous can be a powerful force for justice, but it can be reckless too. Deric?

Camelot, you're talking as if some one individual does the picking and choosing and that someone also has the time to take on "endless cases." Maybe you should take action yourself?

Anyone can join Anonymous or form an Anonymous group, Samehada, and many use some kind of handle like "KY." It's up to each person how he remains faithful to or deviates from the spirit of the group - there's lots of arguing on this subject, as Deric knows well.
