MERCHANT OF CHAOS
Hartley Patterson did a really good FAQ on the
ars newsgroup which can be located at:
http://www.daisy.freeserve.co.uk/faq.htm
To me ars is like visiting an insane asylum with
only a few good posts every now and then.
There's a core group of critics that populate
ars, most of them are have websites that
help to expose Scn and many of them are "wogs".
Ars is flooded with spam every day. There are
several types of spammers. There's the OSA/
anti psych spam that gets posted through out the
day. They do this because they believe in a
magical process that tells them to OUT CREATE
the entheta and they do this by flooding the
truth about the real sp's on the planet
-- THE EVIL PSYCHS --
Then there's the Kook Contingent. These are
people with severe mental problems and apparently
have chosen ars in which to communicate about it.
Barbara Schwartz is one of them and she posts as
many different people so you really can never tell
if there are just a few Kooks or if the place is
running amok with all kinds of crazies. Barbara
Schwartz considers herself a Scientologist
She even has her own Wikipedia page.

There's another guy named Koos Nolst Trenite.
Another mentally ill person that was let out of the nuthouse
after he killed his daughter. My guess is that Koos is
off his meds.

There are a few others but these two are special as
both have received the Usenet Kook of the Month award,
and based on the competition, that's no easy feat.
Then there's the Machine Gun Spammer. This is usually a
critic that temporarily loses his/her mind and starts
replying to all the spammers, creating even more spam.
The you have the "Idiot" spammer. This is someone
that posts ridiculous subject lines and then posts even
more ridiculous links to news stories that have little
to nothing about Scn.
Then there is an entire contingent of trolls, and
some of the trolls are critics that are just plain board
and so start pretending to be OSA or a Scio just to
get the newsgroup all riled up.
The cure for all nuts, kooks. trolls and spammers is a killfile.
People can read alt.religion.scientology on google but
that is completely torturous. You'd have to be a
masochist to use google.
You read it by downloading a good "newsreader" program
(See FAQ) and then killfiling all the noise.
What you have left is a Core Group of critics, many of
them run websites. These critics tend to be helpful to
newbies arriving and asking questions. The Core group
has been around for a long time and knows more about
the goings on in Scn that most Scientologists.
The paranoia run deep and anyone not of the right mindset
will get accused of being OSA by the lunatic fringe. I
am even considered to be a double agent of OSA by a small band
of zealots and dumbasses.
There's not many ex's on ars. There's a few of us, but
we are outnumbered by the experts that took a personality
test and then watched the South Park episode on Scn and
so now he considers himself a fucking expert.
I both love and hate ars. It’s like being addicted to a
really bad soap opera.
Ars is not for the faint of heart. It's a rough and tumble
place with lots of "entheta".
Having this board is a much better place for someone just
leaving the cult, or just trying to deal with their own
shit from having been in Scn for a long time. Right
now, your not missing anything by not reading ars.
Anything real important will be cross posted here.
