I guess (ought I put some word here?) meeting them personally they'd turn out completely nice dudes (or she-dudes). Oh well, this world is quite confusing.^^
I've been seeing this word a lot the past couple days. Apparently it refers to someone who makes life miserable for others online in a variety of offensive ways. Now the label is being applied most notably to the famous "Anonymous Hackers" of 4chan, which, if you're not aware, are the most inane and vulgar people on earth, hailing from the most inane and vulgar web site on earth. They see it as their mission to spread shock, stupidity, and frustration everywhere they go. I'm frankly getting tired of reading about these losers (I've seen a lot of articles about them lately) but here's a Wired Magazine link I just found for those who are uninitiated.
My position is that these guys are not really hackers (for the most part). They're just a large number of sentient buttwipes that get a sadistic kick out of harassing people within the system. When 150 of them get together at one time, they don't have to actually hack anything to bring a web site to its knees. I would label them as psychopaths because of their apparent lack of conscience. They are entirely motivated by "the lulz," which basically means they do it for fun, period.
