Denis, In hindsight, we could certainly have done more to help Brendan. However, I would like to stress out that most of us did support him, regardless of our political opinions. Just look at our blog aggregator (http://planet.mozilla.org – you'll have to scroll back a few days) and you will see many blogging in favor of Brendan.
The pressure that eventually convinced Brendan to step down came almost entirely from the outside, more specifically from a marketing campaign organized by OKCupid. It is very sad that this campaign caused Brendan to resign, as he felt his name was hurting the Mozilla mission.
