Ask HN: Why was the CNET interview with Brendan Eich taken down?
I don't get this at all. He either embraces the inclusiveness Mozilla espouses or he steps down. Simple as that.
This is a human rights issue, there really is no other way around it. It's sad on all sides. Mozilla is doing work I support and believe in, but Eich has really tainted that. If Eich continues with his logical conclusion, then Mozilla will fall on the wrong side of history.

- kencausey 13y agoWhy do you think it was taken down? I see two postings https://hn.algolia.com/?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnet.com%2Fnews%2Fmozilla-ceo-gay-marriage-firestorm-could-hurt-firefox-cause-q-a%2F#!/story/forever/0/http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnet.com%2Fnews%2Fmozilla-ceo-gay-marriage-firestorm-could-hurt-firefox-cause-q-a%2F https://hn.algolia.com/?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnet.com%2Fnews%2...
- datalus 13y agoThe original post was taken down pretty quickly with at least 10 comments, I tried to post the above that I wrote and it came back with an expired link... I tried to search for it, but nothing came up. This looks like someone reposted it. Edit: That actually looks like the original post, but it got owned by the HN ranking due to controversy (more comments than upvotes) And it has less comments than I thought... heh good though if gets enough upvotes. :)

- dang 13y agoIt was not "taken down". It fell in rank. That may sound like nitpicking, but when it comes to inflammatory topics we all have a responsibility to be precise with our language. The post fell in rank because of user flags and HN's flamewar detector. Finally, this post is off-topic for HN (and always has been).
