I'm wary of the "Neo" guy. His philosophy is good and interesting, but he seems to have a bit of a Messiah Complex. Zero-One's been around for several years now and so far their only real project outside of the internet kind of backfired (starting a bomb scare to get attention really isn't that smart). And the fact "Neo" keeps on trying to feel the need to prove himself makes me feel just a wee bit uncomfortable (yes, I know you keep saying you're real and you love us, but before you start saying you will save humanity, I want to see some real action for myself before jumping onboard something I'm not sure I can trust). I'm a bit afraid he might be trying to take advantage of people who believe in metaphysics and like The Matrix by using the whole "I'm Neo" thing. Who knows. Maybe he's going to be like Nausicaa, but there's an equal (and scary) chance he'll end up like the kid in the Brain Scratch episode of Cowboy Bebop.

First of all, you can not just decide that you will be involved if you see some 'real action'. WE decide if we will ALLOW you to be involved. And frankly, I wouldn't trust you with a potato peeler, nevermind the responsibilities we deal with every day. Second of all, this is not just an 'online thing' and hasn't been for a while, and we would get a hell of a lot more done if people like you would stop detracting and everyone else would get off the freaking fence post. Third of all, Neo does not have a Messiah complex, he is a Messianistic figure. If you don't like that, or don't believe that, I'm sorry. My belief and the beliefs of others do not require that you do either. Just as you cannot fault those who believe in Christ. The only difference between them and us is that with us, you can believe in both. No worries added

Thank you so much for saying all this. More people need to speak out, alongside those that have left Neo's cult of brainwashing and ego-stroking guilt-trips. He isn't worth anyone's time or belief, and definitely no one's trust.
He is certainly taking advantage of a number of people; some of them minors. We are aware that he is being watched by the FBI, which is some comfort, but more people need warning. He just isn't worth it.

It is not your solemn duty to warn people away from the OMG scary man who thinks he's Neo.
Remember, you think you're freaking Kenshin. You ain't got no right to critisize.
