"> On the off chance that someone who cares actually reads this, I'll simply comment that I have pushed non-Mozilla products aside for many years in favor of Mozilla and what I believed to be an honest pursuit of individual freedom. Your CEO resignation exposes that to be tenuous at best. " I agree with this and cannot believe that you let a small minority of individuals dictate how you run your company. I will remove Mozilla products as well. The company should have helped with the anger and abuse. _______________________________________________ governance mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance
