The main problem I see with that thread is it's just one of those internet things where people are sort of understandably interested in projecting based on their experience, but it reaches a point where it's just a lousy basis for a forum thread. Like in a discord chat where it'll get buried and forgotten after a half hour it's fine fodder to vent about one's personal life and get feedback from whoever is around at that point in time. But for a forum where it'll just keep getting bumped there is absolutely no need at all for this to have 440 replies given just how fucking little information there is to go on. The dude could very well be an asshole, or he might just have developed a straightforward no-nonsense approach because this isn't his first rodeo. Nobody knows. And in lieu of information to make anything even vaguely resembling an accurate character assessment all you're left with is insane extrapolation.
