Leper Fight!
Ok, on the one hand, I think the Westboro people are basically the scum of the Earth. On the other, as a former sysadmin, I hate hackers with a pure, argent fire of chaos. So, when the script kiddies called "anonymous" declared war on Westboro I was... conflicted. Mostly because I knew that, while the Westboro church is evil, the members are smarter than most people realize. So I wasn't at all surprised to see this less than eight hours later.
Pimply-faced basement-dwellers versus Luddite cave men. Yeah, that actually was popcorn you were smelling. I'll be sitting way up in the peanut gallery to watch this one.
I can certainly understand why you'd despise hackers - and can sympathize. Like you, I'm conflicted. I don't generally like vigilante justice or things of the sort, but when those involved are douchenozzles of the highest order, it's hard to drum up too much sympathy.
It's kind of like watching Batman. You know it's wrong, but it's so amusing to watch immediate justice.
