Social ***mozilla Firefox ceo forced to resign for personal views****

[wlu29]

He is being held accountable for his private actions.

Brendan eich, cofounder of mozilla and Java script, had donated $1000 of his private money to anti gay marriage in 2008 is bowing out due to public outrage.

His personal view is that Chrome is better.

Maybe on android phones but definitely not on the desktop

+1. Chrome is still catching up. This is outrageous. I don't see what his personal views have to do with his operations as a businessman. It was his money, not Mozilla's money. It's not like I've ever been blocked from visiting pro-gay websites due to a built-in filter by Firefox, LOL.

I support gay civil unions. I don't support this nonsense.

 

[MarloStanfield]

thats gay if true

 

[wlu29]

Yup seems like there is no such thing as public and private thought if you move up the ranks

 

[Magooglie]

So he made the decision to leave?

Why not? I had to revert back to Firefox recently and it was a dreadful experience.

I just find Firefox to be faster and less cumbersome and less intrusive

Leave on your own or be fired.

That's strange. I find Chrome to be the fastest and least cumbersome browser I've ever used.

 

[Luger]

If he was doing his job right; who cares what his views are?
I

 

[loyalyolayal]

we must all conform to a pro gay attitude or risk public condemnation and the loss of ones occupation/financial security.

This right here! If we let this trend continue, the commies would win.

This is outrageous but you think gays shouldn't be allowed to get married. OK. This and those ideas against gay marriages are equally ridiculous.

Mozilla itself says they didn't ask him to step down.

I support gay marriage. But this guy has no backbone.

 

[Kneepocalypse]

CEO's are the face of their companies. i'm sure plenty of qualified individuals were never even considered for the position b/c they were too fat or ugly. can definitely see why they would force a guy who hates queers out.

 

[John Stockton]

I don't really see what he did wrong, other than legitimately support a political platform that I'm against .

 

[WatchMeDoMe**]

So ironic. Pro gay rhetoric has always been 'who cares what someone does in their private life. As long as they can get the job done, it shouldt matter what they do'.

Clearly doesn't apply if your anti homo

 

[Sakurabinette]

Nothing wrong with having an opinion that goes against the grain.
His view makes him a disgusting bigoted piece of subhuman crap, but he's not really doing anything wrong...

...That is, until he decides to donate money to a hate group that's trying to restrict other people's rights.
Bad move, little buddy.

Don't like gays? Stay straight. Problem solved.
Leave those people the fuck alone and keep your intolerant bronze-age beliefs to yourself.

Free speech is not an open door for hate speech.

 

[Dogstarman]

The problem is he is the CEO and the face of the company. Like it or not your conduct as a person in this position effects how the company is perceived. It's a leadership position but it's also a political one. Especially this day in age where anything you do or say is broadcast 100 times over and in a matter of minutes.
