Mark Pesce response to Sherry Turkle

I think it would be really interesting to come to some sort of understanding of how LOLcats and ANONYMOUS emerged out of the chaos that is 4chan. The 4chan-ers themselves are very proud of these particular "spinoffs" of their collective whatevering-it-is-that-they-do-there. They actually have some very advanced thoughts about these sorts of matters.

I'm not thinking that we should be binary about this, but I do believe we haven't let the crowd speak for itself. It knows what it's done. That may be the problem here. Asking the individual to speak for the crowd may not be very effective.
