Hello everybody,
After a couple of failed attempts to write a decent introductory post, I just deleted them all, because they were just crap. So I gave up the "entertaining story" idea and decided to make a simple Q&A thread. I'll begin with some basic information about me and if you have any questions, I'll either answer them honestly or I'll say that I don't want to answer. Since I'm sometimes "on the road" for a couple of days, it may take some time but you'll get an answer.
So here it comes:
MrNobody's Q&A Thread
Q: Your English sometimes looks OK, but sometimes just... uhm... odd... Why is that?
A: Because it's not my 1st language and it has gotten a bit rusty over the years.
Q: Where are you from?
A: From Europe, and although I wouldn't call myself Anonymous, I'd prefer to not to go into too much detail for now.
Q: Are you a Scientologist or have you ever been one?
A: No, I don't even know a Scientologist personally; but several cults (or belief systems, or whatever you want to call them) have tried to rope me in - Bhagwan, some smaller offsprings from that one, some offspring from Christianity-based cults, and some really small groups of cultish people which are hard to describe. Even Muslims gave it a try.
Oh, and of course Scientology tried their luck with me too. That affair didn't even last 10 minutes. I obviously look like the perfect target, but guess what cults? I'm not.
Q: Scientolgy in less than 10 minutes? Please explain.
A: Well, more than 35 years ago, an extensive course about cults and New Age Religions was part of my education. I even bought some books to learn more about cults and how they work. So I was already informed long before I've met the first real cult members. I knew about love bombing, group-think, group-speak,and lots of other stuff. Years later way back in the late 90's, in a large town, someone invited me for a free something something analysis. Since this happened right in front of a huge "Church of Scientology" building, I could imagine what kind of analysis that would have been and rejected the offer.
However, I thought it was time to update my knowledge about this cult. I went online and tried ARS, which was an unreadable pile of crap in those days. (I must still have 2 or 3 years worth of ARS backup from that time, never managed to go through the mess and sort it out.) Since that time, I checked the net for new information every once in a while until Anonymous and Chanology came into existence. I guess you know the rest.
Q: Now that you've told us what you DON'T believe in, what DO you believe in?
A: Despite of my Christian upbringing, I'm an atheist, a skeptic and sort of a freethinker nowadays. I have friends from many different cultures and many different belief systems and I'm usually getting along with them. Although sometimes we enjoy yelling at each other and ripping each other's ideas and concepts to shreds. Basically I don't care what your cultural rules are or your preferred political concepts or what your beliefs are - as long as you don't try to force them onto others or try to exploit people or rope them in for some cult or something of that nature.
Q: So you're not a Scientologist, no Ex, no OG, not even a real Anonymous or a Freezoner - so why are you here?
A: Because of you? Because there are a lot of intelligent people here with interesting viewpoints?
OK OK, it's not fair to answer a question with a question, I'll try to give you a real one.
There are names here that I recognize from the time I've tried to decypher ARS. There are real stories here from real people. Some of them make me cry, some of them make me laugh. Some are entertaining, some offer a lot of insight. Some of them I can use to inform people around me who never have heard of this cult until now.
Q: "MrNobody" is a really stupid name, why didn't you pick a better one?
A: I borrowed that name from a song from the late 70's titled "Mr. Nobody" - and since I'm not really that well-known around the globe, I think it describes me quite well. If I ever find or remember the lyrics of this song, I may translate and post them here as well as the Song itself.
That's it so far from MrNobody.

That's it so far from MrNobody.
Mr Nobody - I like your style!
