-->\\\"[...] if Gensokyo truly ran on the powers of disbelief, shouldn\\\'t be possible.\\\"

is him attempting to debunk a rather firm belief in the fandom he observed:

-->\\\"I\\\'ve been bugged by the repeated claim that every youkai\\\'s existence hinges on Clap Your Hands If You Believe, and that Gensokyo is a last-resort refuge for creatures dying of disbelief.\\\"

Now,

-->\\\"Gensokyo [doesn\\\'t] exist from the world\\\'s disbelief; it just keeps the world from easily interacting with what\\\'s inside the barrier [...]\\\"

is similar enough to:

-->\\\'\\\'Various objects and people can fall through completely by accident, regardless of how many people believe them or not.\\\'\\\'

that there\\\'s really no substantial differentiation to warrant an argument here. Both sentences refer to the idea that the barrier is not as firm as some would like to believe. Most of what both people are saying here actually supports one another in some way.

This leads me to believe that Mode came to see Trev\\\'s post in a very different angle than intended, and as such, due to similar contexts, all this is achieving is adding more weight against Hylarn\\\'s contention of credibility in their context.

I am amused myself that for someone that speaks of speculation, ignorance, and blind leaps of logic, they\\\'re distorting things heavily, willingly or not, to enjoy themselves for whatever reason. What I am not amused at though, is the execution in such notions due to their apparent result of actually supporting it.

Finally,

-->\\\'\\\'I lol\\\'d heartily.\\\'\\\'
-->\\\'\\\'As opposed to ideas that require complete ignorance and blind leaps of logic?\\\'\\\'

Next time, before you try to assume in your speculation that Trev is uneducated in his side of things, you should try to pay more attention to those you quote. Along with the above, you seem to overlook that much of what he referenced is just as easily reachable in archived data as Hylarn\\\'s arguments. The only difference is they\\\'re giving their own feeling on how the data is to be interpreted. Just like how you\\\'re giving your own feeling on how Trev\\\'s notions should be interpreted. Without much to provide otherwise really, since all I\\\'m really seeing is that the two of you are talking quite the same thing, except Trev took a debunking angle while you\\\'re taking a supporting angle.

I do hope your later articles will be better representative of the facts, Tengu Reporter-san.
