- TimTheTinker 7y agoI don’t see how one could conclude Eich has any hate for anyone based on one political donation 12 years ago. Gay men and women who had worked alongside and under Eich for years at Mozilla were appalled at the controversy and said he had always treated them kindly and was a great friend. I see how this thread maybe isn’t helpful — except that it demonstrates that people still have hard feeling towards him (though I doubt anyone who knew him personally would, gay or not). But it’s bringing up the old controversy yet again. Sorry.
- jfk13 7y agoDo you seriously believe that (as of the time of the prop 8 vote in 2008), 52% of the California electorate actually hated those 1.3 million residents? Can you not imagine that it's possible to disagree with someone on social issues without hating them?
