Over the past few years I've glanced a few of the opinion pieces he's inserted amongst various online Dilbert strips. He hasn't been calm and measured, IMO he's more of a hothead.

I gather the most recent incident was his response to https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/lifestyle/questions/january_2023/questions_okay_to_be_white_february_13_15_2023 (question 1). He didn't consider the actual conclusions to be drawn from that purported poll, reacted badly, and now he's paying the price.

Out of interest - how would you have reacted if you were asked that question in a poll?
