> Zunger just stops short of advocating a violent response. I don't think he's someone I'd ever want to work for, or pay heed to.

That's one thing about the number of folks who've publicly stated positions I find abhorrent: I've got a list of folks I won't work with in the future, because I don't wish to support them.

I don't know if that's a good thing, though. It doesn't seem wise for society to fracture into different polarised groups refusing to do business with one another. Seems like a recipe for recreating Lebanon's mess.

Why can't we go back to the rule of not bringing politics and religion into the office?

Zunger didn't write "this is how I think", he wrote "this is what I'd do". This isn't a matter of supporting someone with a controversial opinion. Zunger goes on in explicit detail about how he would act in response to someone else's opinion.
