Two thoughts: - Brendan Eich is a great guy and I suspect would have been a great CEO and done good things for the company. - I fully respect the actions of Mozilla employees who did not want someone with Eich's opinions as their CEO. It's all very well to "respect the opinions of others" but when the opinion in question is that you should be treated as a second-class citizen, that you are not as good as other kinds of people, then that becomes very problematic if that opinion is being held by your superior. If that superior is in fact the CEO, someone who is the "face" of the company, provides leadership, and rallies the troops, then it becomes even worse. I find both statements above to be true, despite the fact that they are at odds with one another. Humans are complicated.
