Sirs-
I'd like to submit the following to Harper's Readings; it's a collection of screen captures taken during the course of pedo baiting, which itself is an increasingly popular internet sport whereby one poses as a young girl in a chat room in order to attract the attention of older men, whom the baiter then manipulates in some way or another for purposes of humor and/or justice. A couple of these were done by me; others were done by members of the internet group Anonymous, based largely around the website 4chan.org and perhaps best known for its recent attacks on the Church of Scientology.
