You most likely aren't downvoted because people want to "silence" your opinion, but because your expression of it is aggressive, unfriendly and borders on ad hominem. That's why I myself downvoted you, at least.

It's fine being critical of Anonymous. Just accusing them of being "terrorists" and "having no balls" is neither constructive criticism nor an opinion worth discussing.

It's called an opinion. Garbage is spewed about the US government weekly on HN and nobody calles it "ad hominem" (which you also can't just throw around).

I provided proof. Here is another example:

They sound like terrorists, act like terrorists, so I'm going to call them what they are. I don't care if you disagree.


For Anonymous to be "terrorists", don't they have to successfully scare someone? Or, you know, kill people? Stealing code and DDoSing websites, boy, I sure am quaking in my boots.
