You're welcome to do so. If I could make a suggestion, it would be to
develop your theory in as positive a way as possible. I would also
suggest that you simply avoid comparisons to Generational Dynamics,
since those just generate heat.
As for other people in the community, they would need a "home" to come
to, where they would feel comfortable and appreciated, and that could
be your new thread if you could make it appealing to them. You could
also write to people individually and give each one a personal reason
why you would like him to join your thread. Joining a new forum is
actually a lot of work, and people need a reason to do so, so you
would have to give that reason to them.
