"If your community values the right to keep and bear arms"
and if your community is made up of people who have hundreds of different points of view on the right to keep and bear arms... for example, any community that extends beyond the borders of the United States where the conversation may have entirely different contexts?
How many of you making claims about the Mozilla community are actually a part of that community? How many of you are part of an organization with critical resources coming from over 100 countries and languages, not to mention every major world religion and the non-religious? If you're not, then speculating on what the Mozilla Community values is just that, speculation.
I see a lot of people on the Internet deciding for themselves what the Mozilla Community values. I see a lot of people leaping to conclusions based on a few tweets from a few Mozilla employees, while ignoring all the much more nuanced and longer-form blog posts from many far more experienced and long-term Mozilla employees and community members expressing very different views.
(Are we really so lazy that tweets are more effective in establishing the acceptable "facts on the ground" even when there are more robust, compelling, and accurate information available in longer-form blog posts? That's a fucking shame, IMO.)
