RE:The student protests have seen wanton, mindless and chaotic violence wrought on targets mostly not associated with the cause of their grievance.
In the past, Anonymous has attacked things such as an epilepsy website. Do you not think that the press would pick up on things like that and tar any new cause with it?
In reality, I know it's more blurred than that, but the nature of Anonymous means that they can only be seen as 'good' as the sum of their parts, which does seem to feature a lot of twats in their ranks.

In the past /b/tards have attack the epilepsy website and yes the demarcation is blurred and yes the purpose of the attack was both unjustified and offensive. But should the possibility of the press using past transgressions to attempt to tar a cause stop those involved in arguably positive cause activism from taking part due to these prior transgressions by others
Should the WWF shut up shop because phil the Greek is a bit of a racist?

No, but they should perhapsdrop the Anonymous banner and put their names to the cause they believe in.
Shit sticks, and Anonymous is forever going to be tarred with trolling of quite a nasty nature.

As demonstrated amply by assange and manning associating your name with politically and legally questionable activities no matter how admirable the objective is fraught with risk

But it alsogives an organisation legitimacy and shows someone's convictions.
Anonymous seem to use bullying and threat, rather then discussion, and so could never gain the respect that an organisation like Wikileaks has.
