Hi M., "1. Brendan was not fired and was not asked by the Board to resign. Brendan voluntarily submitted his resignation. The Board acted in response by inviting him to remain at Mozilla in another C-level position. Brendan declined that offer. The Board respects his decision." Do you really think the general public buys the above statement? Why were there protests over Mr. Eich's beliefs? President B. Obama held the same beliefs in the same year Mr. Eich made a small donation to an organization that shared his beliefs and our President's beliefs. This is a first amendment issue to me and thousands (or, maybe tens of thousands) of others. To have left wing groups protest to the point of Mozilla not backing Mr. Eich is cowardly and somewhat spineless. Remember, there are more people who share Mr. Eich's beliefs than there are those that oppose his beliefs. You made a very bad business decision by backing America's "controversial" """minority"""group(s). Sorry, but I'll never be a part of the Mozilla family again. Your social belief systems, and mine, are not the same. I'll shop elsewhere. "we remain committed to a free, open web." What you really mean by saying, "free and open..." is free and open as long as you believe what we believe.... Nice! Where's the "diversity tolerance" factor, here? Respectfully, Captain David R.
