It would be a mistake to take the latter at face value. Much of the criticisms of DT on this forum (not all, much) is not genuine. Much of it is people being weird and unreasonable, people making stuff up, people being incapable of interacting with the text, people being unable to escape their expectations. It should be perfectly acceptable for others to criticize these opinions and see them as invalid, even if you don't agree with those criticisms. And yet, we've seen here people responding weirdly to those who contravene the echo in this chamber - either by incoherently frothing at the mouth like someone else in this thread, or like you have done by monologuing about how thou doth shield thine eyes from the truth. If like you said people here were engaging in open discourse in good faith, they would not respond with such hostility to opinions counter to their own, they would be able to respond without getting hostile or mocking those they disagree with. The fact that the latter behavior is rare here is indicative of a bad atmosphere.
Your first post on this thread was saying “nah DT was actually good”

Like genuinely what do you expect people to calmly analyse about that?

You haven’t defended your stance nor have you opted to do any sort of discussion you are asking others to calmly do with you

You basically said “nah DT good actually” then went into a silent majority fallacy then asked people to respect your minority on the forums opinion
