So no thread on the Mozilla CEO being forced to resign for opposing gay marriage?

[Mr. Somebody]

Stop lying. He was forced out by "open minded liberals" like yourself. You should be happy. One less "unevolved" person with a job. Hopefully all gainfully employed people in the nation will all share the same liberal views like yourself. And all those "evil" christians and believers of traditional marriage will be homeless and destitute.

Lieberalism is awesome!

He was humblized there.

I don't know why people are acting like the dude was fired or that he's suddenly going to end up broke and homeless when that's probably nowhere near remotely possible, his life is most likely gonna be just fine. This is a guy who was not even the first choice to be CEO.

On top of all this, Eich wasn’t even seen as a slam-dunk choice to run Mozilla in the first place. As the Wall Street Journal reported weeks ago, some Mozilla board members wanted to hire an outside C.E.O., presumably to shake up the organization, which has struggled to make inroads into the mobile business. Three of the company’s six board members actually resigned before Eich was appointed. (The company claimed, rather implausibly, that the resignations were unrelated to the C.E.O. search.) Eich himself told VentureBeat that the board had interviewed twenty-five candidates before settling on him; he even wondered aloud why they didn’t pick Jay Sullivan, who was the other internal candidate for the position.

The real mystery here, then, is not why Eich stepped down but why he ever got hired in the first place. His unquestioned technical ability notwithstanding, this was a candidate who divided the board, who had already been controversial, and whose promotion was guaranteed to generate reams of bad publicity. In that VentureBeat interview, Eich said of the C.E.O. job, “I was asked to put my hat in, and at first I didn’t want to.” Everyone involved would have been better off if he’d just listened to that impulse.

The Prop 8 thing didn't help but in no way was it the sole reason for him stepping down.

That's not why he resigned. It's old news now that the gay angle was drummed up controversy by media sources who didn't have enough information.

So basically you just pulled that claim out of your ass just like everything else you say.

Not only incorrect but unfriendly, friend. It's very disappointing to see friends cheerleading against friends.

Nope. Half of Mozilla's Board of Directors resigned specifically because he was named CEO, citing "their demands for someone from outside Mozilla with a background in the mobile industry, presumably to help push Firefox OS and to seize a larger share of the mobile browser market." Gay marriage wasn't mentioned at all. Even if his views were public knowledge at that point, which they weren't, do you honestly believe that half the board would have resigned just because of one, small donation he made to Prop 8 if there was profit to be made? When has a board ever behaved like that? In fact, the board went so far as to defend him against the LGBT activists.

The point is, his entire appointment was characterized by massive internal strife and politics centered in debates about his ability to lead at a critical juncture for the company. This gay marriage thing only got superimposed on the situation later, and now media buffoons are making it seem like it was the reason for it.
