The thing is, we are dealing with a very young guy. We don't know the extent to which he was an "insider" in the worlds described the Vanity Fair article (link below), but one way or another, whatever world he was immersed in (or constructed in his own head), what he did tells us it was a terrible and strange land -- very likely a place where communication is "coded" in layers. A world where the insiders (even if an insider of one) revel in how clueless the "outsiders" who will "never get it" are.
And the truth is, we probably will never "get it."
I for one will encourage others to refrain from jumping to any conclusions and will be keeping an eye on any further observations Elle Reeve may have.
