I don't understand a thing you're saying.
but at the moment you start to derail real progress, the
moment you attack one of the best organizations who has
literally been busting its ass for the last decade to
change the world for no profit...Well, you declared war.
I'm not familiar with anyone that attacked Mozilla. The heaviest I saw were boycotts. That doesn't sound like "war" to me, that sounds like the right tack to take. Calling it "war" is overly-dramatic.
Don't tolerate this any more. Brendan Eich was just one
casualty. It's time to start sticking up for ourselves.
Let's start looking at reality. Brendon Eich had MANY opportunities to assure both his detractors and Mozilla's LGBTQ employees that he was dedicated to ensuring that Mozilla would remain inclusive regardless of sexual orientation. He pursued none of them.
Look, I can't speak to Eich's effectiveness as CEO, but it seems like handling a PR situation is part-and-parcel of being a CEO. Eich chose to resign.
We're not an equal society yet. We still have more changes
we need to make to secure the freedom and happiness of
everybody, especially groups that have been historically
marginalized.
Steps that include speaking out against and boycotting entities that put bigots in charge. (Bigot may be a strong word here, I don't know Eich personally, but he did donate to get Prop 8 passed, which certainly sounds like bigoted behavior.)
What else would you have the aggrieved parties do?
All the more reason to shut down the bullies that [...] produced nothing but useless bickering
The irony burns.
