Where were the personal stories about Brendan?
For a lot of us, the issue was http://robert.ocallahan.org/2014/04/responsible-self-censorship.html
Why weren't his personal contributions extensively enumerated somewhere (most outlets simply described him as the inventor of JavaScript, which obviously doesn't resonate with a wider audience)?
Most outlets completely ignored the voices that _were_ raised in Brendan's support. It's possible that if there were more such voices they would not have been ignored, but I doubt it; those outlets had a story to sell, not truth to report.
Where was the spirited defense?
There was quite a bit of it happening on twitter, in various forums, in blog posts. As I said above, the press pretended none of it was happening.
Some of us, myself included, wish we'd been able to do more, for sure. -Boris _______________________________________________ governance mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance
