I have no idea who this particular guest maybe and I don't really care.

All of this strong reaction to the post is largely due to speculation as to who the poster may be and what their motives may be.

Instead of feeding this paranoia, would it not be better address the points made or just to ignore them?

These questions are best left to Max to address or ignore. I seem to remember this very same situation happening not too long ago.

Does Max really need all this unpleasantness, all in in the name of defending him? has he asked for this?
