OK , but Max does need to be criticized regularly for what he says (not who he is).

Please, I do not care what was said about pen-l.  We do not want to reignite that sort of debate.  Max is free to say what he wants outside of pen-l.  We have no need to rebuke him.

In fact, however, Max is correct.  I asked him to refrain from discussing certain matters on pen-l and he graciously has complied so far.  Rather than feeling badly toward Max, I am appreciative.
