Sqrl illustrated what I was talking about very well:

"To bring this debate to a single area I must say that I believe your courtroom analogies are completely irrelevant given this is not a court case. When in court you submit yourself to the judgment of the court and as such rules and rights are established to protect people. But in this situation CoS is not bound to abide by anything the [Sqrl's edit:  protesters] say and truthfully the protesters have no right to do much of anything but speak out about this. I think the only relevant argument you have is one born of moral right to face your accuser, and while legal proceedings may have been modeled after such moral rights they are far more stringent as a direct result of the abilities and powers vested in the court, abilities and powers protesters do not have."

I went on to say that since you were arguing so strongly and so consistently and so persistently that courtroom rules applied to this situation, it seems as if you must either believe that Anonymous must bring this into the courts, or that the courts' rules must be brought out of the courtroom into everyday life. Is one of those true, or something else?

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
