I know Max is now a hero on this forum, but he was a grown man in his 40's messing with the lives of college age kids and elders of churches.
The Lord told Pilate that the Jews had the "greater sin," and to me Max was used by Lee as Pilate was used by the Jews. The good thing is that I heard Max repented for his involvement (but he should have come to Chicago and Cleveland to do this), whereas Lee never did.

Completely valid observations. The way I read it, Max and Sal are driven out and 2 months later they are dissing WL in the paper. It was a tit for tat. No doubt this article fueled the hateful treatment of Max by some in the LRC (i never knew him nor did I ever read this article before).
And I agree that if you have this realization it is hard to feel this only became obvious to you after being shown the door.
