And welcome to reductio ad absurdum. If we boycott this one thing we will boycott all the things and then we will live in a 70s dystopic film where the people who wear KFC shirts can't talk to the people who wear McDonalds shirts! Somehow we've gotten along just fine so far with the existence of boycotts without turning into a world where half the people are boycotting half the other people. Again, no one is saying boycott Mozilla because they hired a bigot. They're boycotting Mozilla because they chose a bigot as their chief executive knowing full well this blowback might happen (since it happened on a smaller scale with the CTO appointment in 2012). That means it doesn't matter to them, and for people to whom this issue matters a great deal that is unacceptable. Nor, incidentally, is anyone saying you should poison the guy's food. It is not "mean" to choose what you spend your money on.
