Ken WhiteScott Adams’ routine: feel yourself getting inadequate attention, so troll hard, and then wrap yourself in a mantle of victimhood and cry censorship when people react — is so painfully obvious and predictable of a grift that it’s appalling that people fall for it.
Hughster@Popehat I might agree with this hypothesis in some other cases but not here, purely because the direct result of this was to lose a massive amount of income from syndication of his comics. It seems more like a Graham Linehan situation, i.e. gradually backing himself further and further into extremism until extremists are the only people left who'll be his friends.
