Scott ADAMS hates us internetters!1
Ever since his flap, Dilbert's dailies have struck an unfunny note, almost Freerish lack of creativity.

2. So it's not us or the thousands on the internet who slammed him?!1
The word "racist" is clearly substituted for the mysogynist word HE used in his real life dust-up. Isn't using a meme like "racist" or "Nazi" a byword for internet arguments? I see his target in this strip being US who attacked him on the internet, as he specifically says through his alter ego, not Freepers.

3. What flap. And doesn't that resemble a lot of arguments on DU as well
as lots of other sites??

4. Remember last month that he made misogynist blog comments
and he got lambasted, then he erased the comments but they had been saved by others, and then he used a sockpuppet to praise/defend "Scott ADAMS"?! One of his defenses was that the internet was a vile place full of us ne'er-do-wells. Google will regurgitate it all, upon request.

Nowhere in the 'toon or in my posts was DU singled out, nor were other sites. It was all about "the internet."

9. It is sad, but I find humor in it.
A short time spent in GD will show that it's spot-on.
