What specifically did he do recently?
He was interviewed. To be honest I don't know why he agreed to it as I don't see how he could have thought that steadfastly dodging the issue would improve the situation.

I was on the fence as to whether he should be the public head of Mozilla before reading this (I disagree with him on the issue in question, but I suspect many hold beliefs that I don't agree with), but in that interview he just comes across as an arse. If the transcript is faithful to what was said, I'd say the interviewer gave him plenty of chances for reconciliation, and Eich refused to take them.

One could also argue that not answering in a situation like this is a principled stand on his right to privately hold a political opinion. In the US, it's legal to hold opinions that are "wrong." It should also be socially acceptable, otherwise we are creating a social climate where rational discussion becomes impossible.
