I’d say anyone with a genuinely enquiring mind would be welcome.

As this thread no longer has connection to whatever its original purpose was, and veers into commentary about people who have left or are irregular posters at this point anyway, I think it might as well be deleted?
'Historically, we may regard materialism as a system of dogma set up to combat orthodox dogma...Accordingly we find that, as ancient orthodoxies disintegrate, materialism more and more gives way to scepticism.'

Quote:I'll let him know that at least some regulars are curious about what he's thinking about nowadays and if he'd be willing to continue tracking his thinking publicly with some new posts [to his blog].

I oppose any move that encourages deletion of this thread. 

Sci, as you’re obviously somewhat pally with Max, why not also ask him why he acted as he did? If he hadn’t done so, this thread wouldn’t exist.
Oh my God, I hate all this.   Surprise

I think it's in general bad form to comment on other members, unless they are also taking part in the thread. Perhaps it should be locked?

Don't you have to test those ideas ? What is the value of evolving ideas with no evidence to support them ?

You're a gentleman, Typoz and that always serves you well. However, personally, I don't think the subject of Max's mass post deletion should be made an inappropriate topic. No one here is going to be rude about Max, we all like him. I liked him (I didn't like his untested, unsupported ideas, but surely that was okay). 

Honestly I think he should just come back and reinstate his posts and lets all forget about it.

I'm going to agree with this and lock the thread.

Members are free to start another thread and bring up again if they wish the general points here, but I don't think it's fair to allow comment on Max when he's no longer here.
