"You can call me a 4channer, you can call me a blogger, a hacker, a video gamer, you can call me whatever epithet makes you feel somehow superior, but you are wrong. I am none of those things, nor would I need to be to participate in the attack (I did not).
Anyone who understands what DDoS attacks do would never claim that they would cause widespread havoc or serious economic damage. They simply are a way to be a nuisance, to cause a little disruption, and to get the attention of perhaps a few stuffed suits so that next time, they won't sell their souls so publicly to quiet a voice that they and their government friends find so uncomfortable.
You can laugh at the people doing this, and console yourself with how geeky they all must be and think of all the socially acceptable friends you have. Or you can stop and consider what you can do yourself to stand up for a free press in this country"
