From Max:"And for the record, my "refusal to moderate in even quite extreme cases" is called freedom of expression. And I am quite happy for my belief in this to be seen by the wider world.

I understand how some are offended by this, as it forces a higher standard of accountability than some are capable of Plus, it requires the bravery and humility to hear other peoples opinions without a filter, and it demands prudence to remain civil while disagreeing with those opinions and defending your positions."

"higher standards"?; "to remain civil"? Epic fail then...
