I didn't read the whole thing, because to me it just sounds silly. It's like any other 'club' sort of attitude. When someone complains about too many people being allowed into their 'club', it usually just means that the new people aren't the sort of people they want to hang out with. For example, hardcore WoW players often complain about how girls aren't as good as guys at player-versus-player or something. Or they bitch that they used to be allowed to be as rampantly sexist and rude as they wanted in guild chat, but now the girls are ruining it. My response to this is: "Too bad."
Patton Owalt is a comedian though. I think this might be a little tongue-in-cheek. I watched this bit of his where he talked about watching The Princess Bride for the one millionth time when he was off his meds. To be honest it was a little TMI to be funny, but I don't think he can be totally serious about the whole thing.
