[edit] Alleged "behind the scenes" reason for Scott's dismissal

I've removed the couple of sentences about Scott being actually dismissed from Apple because of his homosexuality. The lines were sourced, from the Michael Malone book Infinite Loop. However, if you read the book, it's a bizarre allegation. The rest of the book, when it makes some sort of assertion, backs it up with interviews and explains the author's reasoning. The allegation that Scott was dismissed because he was homosexual takes up a couple of paragraphs and just throws it out there, without explaining how that author came to that conclusion. Either it's his personal opinion, or it needs further corroboration, and until we have that, it shouldn't be included in this article. —Cleared as filed. 13:41, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
