Now how do we flip the killswitch on sites Moral Guardians frequent...

To me, they're just Real Life trolls who don't know they're trolls.

I'm sorry, but I find the attitude that "free speech doesn't matter until the speech I read/agree with is censored" is incredibly, incredibly offensive to me. Please think about what free speech actually means, and then try again.

Look, you can't make me speak in a logical, coherent, intelligent bananna.

...and I'm a bit confused about what you just wrote. Did you add an extra /?

What happened is the poster took offense to the idea that it's ok to use the killswitch to nail all the moral guardians websites, because that's taking away their right to free speech.

Oh yeah, I bet theyre shaking at the thought of Internet forum users uniting against them.

You would be surprised at some of our backgrounds... I carry a gun every day, Pvtnum works around copious amounts of explosives and classified material, yeah..

Sure dude, there are a few military tropers here, some others know a bit about fighting, or explosives, or whatever, but by and by? Most of us are just Internet dorks, who are little use to anyone that isnt interested in pop culture trivia. For gods sake, look at me, Im a failed comic book artist, what use could I possibly be to anyone? The only thing Im good at is drawing mean spirited satire to compensate for my own self loathing!

I dont know why they let me out, I guess they needed a spare bed

I thought you guys would be AGAINST that sort of tactics.

Meh, we fight fair and we're still the bad guys. I'm not sure how much of a fuck I give anymore, the guys using those tactics still get all the sympathy, so fuck it.

Dum Dum rounds, explosive tipped bullets, and nerve gas for all! Suicide vests for others!

How would you choose the suicide bombers though? I might be persuaded, but I doubt you'd get many volunteers.

Wouldn't web programming be the most important skill in a battle like this?

Stranger: Actually they do fear the power of forum goers and people who use the net. Why do you think they are bothering with a kill switch.
