when it is possible that he either just embellished it or maybe didn't relate the details with complete accuracy.

Embellished is a good hint. Last night I was thinking that, considering the guy's aim, it is likely that he exaggerated Dennis' state to fit his Christian agenda more. Also Carl's talk of being able to sleep with any chosen girl without knowing whether out of "true" feelings for him personally or just because he's famous is to be taken with more grains of salt than that he did meet Carl and got called an asshole by him.

There's people on this board that knew Carl well. By most accounts he was a gentle soul, but I've also read he was opinionated and stood by what he thought. Like when he walked out of the Baywatch Nights session, or when he moved Brian from center stage to the side behind a piano.

Based on true events, dramatized for the effect, I'd say.

I would agree with that. Sometimes we think 'gentle' means 'passive'; Carl stood his ground when he needed to. His gentle diplomacy is very much missed these days.
