I don't think political views are beyond contestation. People become bad for believing in bad ideas.

And, boy, his ideas were bad.

I say everything is political and that there are political views that are just plain wrong and aren't compatible with life in society.

I always thought that finding those strips in an office was a warning sign. If they identify with those characters, there was something profoundly wrong.

And yes, the norm was already pretty bad.

I find it really sad that I lost respect for him because of his political views. When someone you admire dies, it happens once. When you lose respect for someone, that person you admired dies over and over again, on every new disappointment.

To me, he died many times in the past few years. Dilbert of the 1990s is dear to me and I really enjoyed the animated series. My sons tell me it prepared them for corporate life. I'm sad he left us this way. I wish I could admire him again.

The TRS-80 model I came out in 1977. It took HP just 49 years to launch a competitor.

If you have better sources, then please, improve the article.

I would imagine whoever wrote those 4 paragraphs has researched a lot more than I did about his political views. If someone with better sources went there and corrected any mistakes made previously, with referenced demonstrating it, the article would be much improved.
