Same here. Such a shame about his (apparently) dark past.

It’s a reminder to assess people on their actions, especially the outcomes (rather than intentions) of their actions, and not speculation on what might be in their heads.

I'll bet that was the highest quality stuff Ikea ever produced. I was in a store for recycled stuff a week ago or so looking for a typewriter and some old comic books for my kids and it struck me that none of the furniture they was made by Ikea. That translates into there being a direct path to the landfill from Ikea.
