Reading the story, time and time again his programmer warned him about anonymous, and said he shouldn't be messing with them.

Then what do you know, he gets attacked by anonymous. Do you think maybe his programmer is in anonymous? :)

You don't have to have anything to do with Anonymous to have some idea of what they're capable of when they're poked with a stick.

Not really any good evidence to support that conclusion unless you're using Barr's statistical methodology. That coder's responses to Barr aren't that far off from what I'd say in his position. It's not surprising that a programmer would be familiar with Internet geek subculture, and predicting that Anonymous will turn LOIC on a direct challenger is not much of a leap.
