Why can't we all just be nice to each other?

Without wanting to touch the events that led up to it (we all know how easy these threads spiral out of control), that cover is a hoax.

Hence the hope!

I was aware it was a mock up, but I hope the sentiment remains

It was interesting to listen to Will Self on C4 news last night - his point was freedom of speech is important, but we shouldn't assume that means we can offend anyone we want to. At what point does satire become offensive for the sake of it?

I find it interesting that the hacker group Anonymous have said they will respond to the terrorist threat to ensure free speech.

Sounds like they plan to prevent one groups free speech to protect it for the rest of us.

Will they disrupt systems that terrorists use for communications where governments would rather listen, and will that be more effective at preventing collaboration?

Will it effect us the common people?
