There is a big difference between the Wacom-based S Pen Samsung uses in their Note lineup, and a simple capactive stylus you can use with any phone. Writing and drawing with a proper pressure sensitve stylus like the S Pen is far more like using a real pen on paper.
Anyways, aside from the S Pen, the Note 3 has a faster SoC (Snapdragon 800 vs S600 in the One Max), 3 GiB of RAM instead of 2 in the Max, a removable battery, is a lot lighter, and a camera that will probably take better daylight pictures. The One Max has a bigger screen, albeit in a much larger body thanks to the stereo speakers, the camera might take better pictures at night (or not since HTC dropped OIS), and most people would find the aluminum body to look nicer than the silly pseudo leather on the Note 3. And of course the fingerprint scanner.
Then there is the Amoled vs LCD screens; both technologies have their strenghts and weakness to consider. And there is the software to consider - Touchwiz on the Note is a bit bloated, and rather ugly IMHO, but another launcher & icon pack fix most of the ugly, and the S Pen & Multi window features Samsung has added are really useful. HTC has cleaned Sense quite a bit, but its only stand out "feature" is Blinkfeed, which will be able to be deactivated in the Sense 5.5 coming in the Max.
Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent. The competent use violence well before last resorts are necessary.
If violence isn't solving your problems, then you aren't using enough of it.
