> ...despite the complete lack of evidence or accusations of him using his position at Mozilla to advance those beliefs. No evidence was necessary, because it doesn't matter. I refuse to buy products from companies owned by the Koch brothers because I think they are disgusting, immoral people. It has nothing to do with the quality of their products, it has everything to do with them. Eich's case is slightly different because Mozilla is non-profit, but the basic principle is the same. See my next point. > ...he has no right to be a leader in the tech community because of that opinion... I firmly believe this to be 100% true. Eich is a bigot and bigots have no place in leadership positions as far as I'm concerned, in the tech community or elsewhere. Achievement and brilliance don't give a person license to be a bigot. > ...Mozilla's public image was attacked in an effort to punish Eich for his opinion. Mozilla's public image was attacked because they hired a bigot to be CEO. End of story. Eich has a right to his opinion. I think it is very important to point out that I (and I hope others who share my opinion) would not have supported government intervention to remove him. I don't think he should be forced to believe something he doesn't believe, or to pretend to believe something he doesn't believe. But I also see nothing wrong with expecting our leaders to have moral views we find acceptable, and the CEO of Mozilla is definitely a leader, and being vocal about it when they don't.
