So Mozilla thinks that laws proposed to voters are so immoral that we should purge people over them. “He had it coming to him”, they’ll say, justifying the purge, for defending that a child need two parents of different sex because kids are enriched by both viewpoints, which is as perfectly valid as an opinion as saying that speech should be censored aggressively when not agreeing with other viewpoints. Both are opinionated opinions. Only one is not democratic. And that’s a trend across a specific sprout of unicorns and SV companies. The Silicon Valley TV show even realized it and made an episode about the hero outing a “gay Christian”, until the episode turns into understanding that the problem isn’t that he outed a gay, but a Christian, which is something that apparently the Silicon Valley (and the HQ of Mozilla in Australia for that matters), aren’t tolerant with. I’m for democracy. Mozilla isn’t supporting equal democracy... for Christians. In my opinion it is more complex than that, Mozilla probably have little opinions about this problem but buckles under specific powerful group pressures and agrees to implement their purge, without due process and fair trial. Instead it’s replaced with “He had it coming”, which reminds me of the darkest ages of the last century. Due process for every accusation is an essential pillar of democracy, and Mozilla hasn’t amended it manners to support this principle.

> So Mozilla thinks that laws proposed to voters are so immoral that we should purge people over them. He wasn't purged by Mozilla, he quit. He did quit because of the pressure put on him because of his donation but the idea that he was purged by Mozilla is at least an exaggeration if not an outright lie. > “He had it coming to him”, they’ll say, justifying the purge, for defending that a child need two parents of different sex because kids are enriched by both viewpoints, which is as perfectly valid as an opinion as saying that speech should be censored aggressively when not agreeing with other viewpoints. Bad ideas should be purged. Don't you agree with that? > I’m for democracy. Mozilla isn’t supporting equal democracy... for Christians. How so? > In my opinion it is more complex than that, Mozilla probably have little opinions about this problem but buckles under specific powerful group pressures and agrees to implement their purge, without due process and fair trial. The man quit... should have Mozilla rejected his resignation and forced him to participate in some kind of "due process"? What do you have in mind for this process?

Democracy means you get the freedom to vote how you want politically. It doesn't mean that you don't have to live with the consequences to your personal life. If you think it does, please reread the Constitution, the circumstances behind it's drafting, and the first 10 years of US history.
