They tried to hit CWE 3 times in the week leading up to the recent NSE and EFA forum attacks. I saved copies of the 7chan /b/ threads where the attacks were being instigated both times (ie. last November and the recent EFA strike - see http://www.vbseo.com/f106/refback-came-handy-last-night-18013/ ). Shall I post the transcripts? This attack had nothing to do with Anon or CoS. It's just 7chan /b/tards doing what they do (over and over again). 7chan admins should stop condoning this crap and protecting the instigators IMO. And you are welcome for me shining a light wherever I can on the subject. Cockroaches don't like the light, do they?
