Linda,
thank you for messaging instead of just silently turning your back on us.
Yes, Brendan deserved better. Much, much better. I doubt there is a
single
person within Mozilla both as an organization and a community that thinks
otherwise.
Which is why we didn't make him leave. After enduring the public
battering
for 11 days and trying to find a way to be an effective leader under the
circumstances, he made the decision to step down.
Since you care so deeply about this topic and feel betrayed, I hope you
can
take the time to read these following blog posts that contain
explanations
and perspectives of a much higher quality than I could provide:

thank you for your time,
till

Hey, I have preferred and used Mozilla for over 6 years. Your lack of
tolerance for people who are different, who think differently than YOU,
seems to elevate and entitles you to make someone leave who has
contributed
so much to Mozilla--Unbelievable.
Now, Mozilla's favorable standing with me is in jeopardy.
Mozilla need to Get totally rid of your obvious 'Intolerance, lack of
free
speech, exclusivity, non-diversity' stance, or lose the base that keeps
you
in place. Be who you claim to be, stand up for that, instead of
pretending
it.
Diversity means embracing all people, regardless of their thinking, sex,
age, ugliness, beauty, etc. Where is the equality in this situation
here?
SHAME, SHAME ON YOU AT MOZILLA.
What would you have done, if Brendan had been a sex-changed man, who had
simply changed his mind about anything----(OR ARE WE NOT ALLOWED TO EVER
CHANGE OUR MINDS OR BELIEFS??), but condemned forever.
Brendan Eich deserved better than this from Mozilla. Too bad for him
that
he is of that segment of society that now has to be cast down. A White
Male who has beliefs about marriage that honor women. Too bad.
Total outrage. But, someone with this much knowledge and ability will
land
on his feet, and I will join his next creation--as I am sure he has
learned
a lesson about non-diversity and intolerance from working at Mozilla.
Thanks for showing what Mozilla is really about.
Linda
