I have to disagree, he doesn't want to present his opinion, he wants to be everyone support his. To ridicule someone (eg. his theories) is not a proper way to present his own, only people who don't believe what they say themself act like that. DPC left us several open mysteries to think about them (i hove he solve all of them during the upcoming eps), so it's only natural that people think about them. Sometimes they hit the target (Chad is gay, ...), sometimes they are that fictional, they won't be true (at least in this AVN). It's a way to shorten the time until the next Ep will be released, i think it's better than doing that using drugs or other silly things.
Let's say so, i'm using the net since normal people were able to get access (and started as an adult), this also means i'm one of the older people reading and writing here. I've seen EVERY kind of people in the net and IRL. Civil discourse dies with the mainstream got into the net but also in the early days you had single persons not able to behave during a discussion. We have to deal with how it goes today, we only can be the best version of us, hoping the others also do so.
