Aryeh, Thank you for taking the time to research and understand Mozilla's participation guidelines. If everybody else took the same effort that you have, this discussion would be a lot more constructive.
You are 100% correct that Brendan's behaviour met the conditions of the guidelines. Indeed, David Flanagan's eloquent explanation of what happened (https://medium.com/p/7645a4bf8a2) quotes the exact same section of the guidelines that you just quoted, and reaches the same conclusion. I encourage you to read it. (David is a Mozilla employee.) More generally, there has been a lot of simplistic and outright false reporting on this issue, which is leading many people to reach incorrect conclusions. Mozilla's "FAQ on CEO resignation" post (https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2014/04/05/faq-on-ceo-resignation/) may also be helpful. If you read both of these documents and decide that they are untruthful, well, that's your choice. But I hope you'll see that the situation is quite different to how it's been commonly portrayed.
