My 2 cents.
Yeah, Maxx may have set the bar low, but what happened to the "innocent-'till-proven-guilty" mindset? We have no proof that the events of his uncle are real or made up.
This gives noone any justification to just stuff on Maxx for no apparent reason. Ben is in the wrong here, I believe.
You have every right to have an opinion on Maxx and the situation, but you have no right to just be a richard to him in the thread. You could just as easily ignored him.
All-in-all the people bitching about Maxx are setting the bar I mentioned lower much much much lower than Maxx did by continuing this stuff.
