There's another option that I can think of.
If people making the connection between Haruhi and Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is causing problems... just retcon the part where AAA recommends looking up that series and anything that proceeds from that.
Personally I kind of like this option, just because I don't think going down that path (whether Haruhi is real or not) is likely to make things more interesting, but I like other stuff from that thread. Of course, it's a bit messy in implementation, but you can't have everything...
