Why the intolerance?

Disappointed to hear Mozilla is intolerant of certain religious groups. Who will you fire next? All Christians/Jews? Pro lifers? What if I don't believe in global warming...will I be punished? Perhaps you should post a list of acceptable personal beliefs one can have to work for Mozilla/Firefox. Your company seems totalitarian...you have lost my patronage, and I'll not be applying for a job with Mozilla either.

marshdoc, would it really hurt you to ask for facts on what happened with Brendan Eich before assuming the worst happened instead?

They knew about his 2008 donation as it was public record (due to California law on donations with name and employer being listed) for a couple years at least and the board and employees (apart from a small number) supported him for who he is to promote him from CTO to CEO. This was not found out after he became CEO as some mistakenly believed.

Unfortunately some media outlets will rather publish sensationalized stories generating many clicks and increased revenue by ads than perform the most basic fact-checking or even posting the truth.

In fact Brendan refused to step down (as first link from day before leaving shows) due to the pressure from outside campaigning to get him to resign as CEO. However it just got so bad in increasing attacks that he felt he could no longer be an effective leader with people constantly attacking him. He decided to leave as his way of helping Mozilla however this then triggered attacks more towards Mozilla due to the misconceptions made by individuals and article writers thinking he was fired or forced out.


I would like to think since he was not fired or forced out he could go back to Mozilla if he wanted to when things dies down.

As of today Chris Beard joined the Mozilla Corporation Board of Directors and as the interim CEO. https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2014/04/14/mozilla-moving-forward/
