The way I see this:
- Everyone has the right to express opinions, even bad opinions
- JF does have a history of bad posts
- When someone repeatedly expresses bad opinions you can question the legitimacy or intent of their continued participation
- I completely get max's initial response to JF which was basically "you need to stop spouting garbage if you want to be taken seriously"
- Honestly don't really get why Carlos Danger and L54 decided to step in as the self appointed police against internet bullies. Like, the whole thing is completely done at little more than a parting "you're dumb" if CD and L54 don't feel this moral push to defend JF. And then CD accused max of making JF suffer through a "diatribe" when it was literally one paragraph of heated disagreement and nothing more.
Max is right that we have a long and proud board history of calling each other morons. Sometimes we take that too far but it is a pillar of our society. You f***ing idiots.
