You excuse yourself from responsibility index the guise that he resigned.  
Right.  Correct thinking and action would have been to realize that stage one 
thinking was going to take you down the rat hole you find yourselves in now.  
By going beyond stage one thinking you would have realized that caving to gay 
community agitators, both external and in your own ranks, would inevitably lead 
to pinning you against the wall on freedom of association and political speech. 
 The right thing to do, the courageous thing to do, would have been to rally 
around fundamental rights a of all Americans by rallying around your CEO so he 
wouldn't have felt he had to resign. 

I would think that a company so intimately involved in communication would be 
particularly sensitive to choosing free political speech over a narrowly 
focused, special interest based interest in government meddling in the 
definition of marriage.  Free speech and especially freedom of political speech 
are, essential to all open and honest political discourse.  OKCupid's fascistic 
attempt to silence opposing opinion wasn't the worst mistake that was made.  
The worst mistake was for the board of Mozilla to not realize that they would 
be seen as sacrificing the universal right free political speech on the alter 
of political correctness.
