Why is your company discriminating against people of religious convictions who know that certain behaviors like gay marriages are immoral? I know that you are making a big mistake and you will lose half of your users if you do not reverse your bigoted practices.

Hello, in order to come to that assumption you have probably come across reports about this topic that weren't correct, because sadly the press has in general done a very poor job at fact-checking this story. Since you care deeply enough to send this message instead of silently turning your back on us, you might be interested in some attempts to clear up a lot of this misinformation:

Brendan wasn't forced or pressured to resign from within Mozilla - we would like nothing better than to rehire Brendan. In fact, we didn't want him to leave in the first place. However it was his personal decision to resign among all this ongoing frenzy, threats and mischaracterization of him as a person and the Mozilla community coming from third-parties, in order for the constant bombardment to end and to avert any further damage to Mozilla and its mission that he helped build for so many years.

Unfortunately many are assuming he must have been fired or ousted all due to his decision to leave instead of staying in some role or back to CTO.

it was not proper for you to assume how i came to my conclusion. I know that my sizing up of the issue is accurate (if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck.) Your company did not have the guts to stand up against mean, nasty, unfounded and un-American accusations against Brendan. That is the bottom line and it is going to haunt you.
