This "blah blah blah Special Interests" meme so many people people have been posting today is, quite frankly, idiotic and extremely insulting. Marriage equality is a human rights issue, not just a "political issue" or "opinion." Eich was not pressured to resign from Mozilla because he voted against funding a bridge or because he doesn't like spinach. People wanted Eich to step down because he's a bigot and a bigot is unqualified to lead an organization whose mission statement is freedom and openness.
- vxNsr 13y agoPlease don't start this again, if you want to have a flame war go to reddit or 4chan.
- homulilly 13y agoPlease refrain from posting intellectually dishonest nonsense then. When this kind of thing gets posted it deserves to be called out for what it is.
- ConceptJunkie 13y agoSo where does it stop? There are a whole lot of people like Eich, and not all of them will go away.
- homulilly 13y agoI don't really understand this comment. No one was advocating vandalizing Mozilla property or physically assaulting Eich. Political pressure in the form of protest or boycotts are part of the right to free speech and are vital to the functioning of a free society.
