It lost is purpose after the first few posts. I'm the OP but as someone said correctly I'm not the owner of it and can't decide how it develops. Dilbert for free in a easy way to be accessible is no more, fork $70/Year for a daily strip or wait for paying people to set a website who rips the strips daily and publishes in the dark Web for free. I'm not implying that the creator should work for free, but all this situation was blown out of water when other public figures do worse and nothing happen to them. No one is coming back what was said, and newspapers, publishers and other deal holders are also not gonna change their decision. So close it, burned it to the ground and bury the ashes. |

That way, we won't be wasting your, (& our time) discussing what seem to us to be associated issues. I know you have always wanted this forum to be as open as possible, but perhaps it is time to have a "special place", other than your videos where you can "tack your colours to the mast." As it is, you know that not everyone will agree with you, others won't agree with them, in turn, & both sides will bring up "side issues" to seemingly bolster their case. |

Hopefully the Dilbert collection will end up on a torrent somewhere, I'm not going to subscribe to some service I've never heard of just to read that. |

I went back to find what I thought was the vital part where he explains it. I'll link the YT video keyed to the exact time. You only have to watch for about a minute. But basically he says the he has gained massive notoriety as a voice to speak about things he feels need to be said. So it was calculated and the risk was in his favour. If you look at the titles of his YT channel "Real Coffee with Scott Adams" you will see a pretty good cross-section of topics. I expect these will fairly heavily feature in future Dilbert cartoons. If it pans out that way I don't think the new "paying" Dilbert audience will intersect greatly with the old one because cubicle culture will be greatly diminished. https://www.youtube.com/live/RiNVN6c9E9g?feature=share&t=3570 |
