> "Mozilla believes both in equality and freedom of speech. Equality is necessary for meaningful speech. And you need free speech to fight for equality.... We have employees with a wide diversity of views. Our culture of openness extends to encouraging staff and community to share their beliefs and opinions in public." This is kind of a weird emphasis, they're really careful to avoid repudiating his beliefs, even taking the mea culpa as a chance to emphasize the importance of free speech. That's mostly weird to me because free speech was never at issue. It's usually used in the first amendment context, a restriction on government action... but that doesn't make any kind of sense here, since the government didn't ever get involved. More generally, they could be saying they value the ability of people to speak their minds. But that's exactly what we got here. One guy spoke his mind, then a million people spoke their minds about his viewpoint. They can't be saying they want everyone to be free to speak their minds without fear of any reactions from anyone whatsoever, because that's not actually free speech anymore.
