I didn't want to delete Firefox, I liked it. I feel like I would have been violating my own integrity if I kept it though. How can I support Mozilla when they responded the way they did. I mean - they say Eich resigned. But look at the press release afterwards, apologizing, talking about tolerance, equality, and freedom of speech. It's sickening considering what they had just done. He was JUST voted into the position, he was obviously the right person for the job. I feel bad for him, and I blame the LGBT lobby for this. But Mozilla didn't help at all. What were they thinking - they just rolled over, let him leave, and begged forgiveness. And now what? They haven't said anything except brief comments that say little and mean nothing. _______________________________________________ governance mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance
