- stcredzero 13y agoHmmm. I think that if someone is potentially headed into the midst of some public controversy, and they decline to comment, that's pretty understandable. The fact that so much energy has been devoted to this -- that 6 years ago some CEO made a donation to a political group people don't like -- indicates something broken in the prioritization of effort in US political life. Seems like they didn't go after Mr. Eich so much because of the severity of what he did, but rather that they were able to get to him. (Seriously -- Brendan Eich > the Koch Brothers?)
