Agreed. Eich needs to make a personal statement. We never questioned the organization, previously.
This is an important matter to the community which created and supported Mozilla from the beginning.
To us, Mozilla represents freedoms and rights for all people. For the incoming CEO to have taken a strong (and public) position at odds with that representation suggests that Mozilla has changed, or will change, or that we were mistaken.
This compromises Eich's ability to be an effective leader of the community. He is presumed to support inequality, bigotry, and hatred.
How can we ignore this? Mozilla is bigger and broader and stronger than one person, but Eich's presumed views are toxic and antithetical to what we believe Mozilla stands for.
These views should not be elevated to a position of official and executive leadership in our community.
