Editor's Notes

  1. Rorschach Test: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rorschach_testWe see in Anonymous what we WANT to see.. We project. Our perceptions say more about us than they do about the multitude of subgroups/causes in Anonymous.
  2. There isn’t AN anonymous either… there are dozens.It is more of a franchise than an Organization.
