We all make mistakes Jon and it’s pretty big of you to own up like that. I know what it’s like to work when not feeling well and tired, so I can understand confuddlements like this.

Keep up the good work. You do a really good job at exposing shit organisations like Scientology and the RIAA/MPAA who like nothing better than to ruin people’s lives in the name of corporate profit.

Nah guys, this whole thing is just an IRC conspiracy to shine the limelight on the newfags destroying our once sacred imageboards.

nonya,

Of course they’re not harmless. All you have to do is look at the long list of lives they’ve ruined.

Dictionary.com says about the derivation of “Anonymous:”

“From Late Latin anÅnymus, from Greek anÅnumos…”
So it seems that the -os ending has been adapted (rather than borrowed) into -us, which probably led to a paradigmatic leveling that would generate such a form as “anonymi” in the genitive singular and nominative plural. I think it’s okay.

As for the response, thank you

Happy Valentine’s Day,
Anonymi

Reader’s Write, that’s the plural form of “Anonymous”. Of course, in this context, the plural form of the group Anonymous is simply Anonymous, but meh.

Hi Jon, Thank you so much for the clarification on that.

Some really wise anonymous dude said "All that is required for evil to triumph is for good men to remain quiet."

I think all we really want is for the Church of Scientology to be thoroughly investigated to the satisfaction of the many people who are concerned about them. We want to know if they are really as harmless as they claim to be. We want to know if they truly do deserve the tax breaks that not even Catholics or Jewish get.
An organization with nothing to hide would more than welcome the chance to be investigated to clear up the "misunderstandings" we may have about them. Then everybody can coexist happily assured that there isn't something sinister amongst us.

You are cordially invited to celebrate LRHubbard's b-day with us in the form of protest on March 15th ;^)
