Ignoring Max is the weak response of people who cannot communicate either. He can definitely not shittalk other people but there should be a handful that have the confidence to face him and tell him he sucks. That or he is right. It's not ok for him to have bad manners but if no one has never any argument for him and everyone is unable to deal with his behavior, it's more showing your team's failure to communicate than his. If the solution becomes to ignore him then that's a failure. I'm really surprised that a full team of devs would behave like that. If you're still scientists looking for truth there should be either right or wrong and your knowledge should be able to dismiss wrong and accept right. If he was right then you should convince yourself he was. But obviously he wasn't, so anyone should be able to prove him wrong. What happened is everyone stopped caring about truth, the new value became comfort, and in my opinion this is both lazy and sad

Ignoring max is a social failure in itself
