JtS.... "allies"? I'd rather think that they were supporters of free speech even when the free speech went far beyond any acceptability. Max was and is a champion of free speech but there is a line and they crossed it. Any "allies" must have been such for that reason only, I HOPE. Otherwise, they were supporting and endorsing the crap that went beyond acceptable.
BTW... to even enter their names, or others, into any post herein is troubling to me and I sincerely hope it is never done again. Nothing good this way comes... forward please... not backward.
