Charles,

Thanks for reaching out. I realize that you are upset because you
believe that we have fired Brendan and because you believe that his
opinions were not accepted at Mozilla.

However, I would like to stress out that this is not what happened.
Brendan was entitled to his opinions, just as any other employee, and we
did not fire him. Since you are not the only person who has come forward
to express their concerns on the topic, we have put together a page that
I hope will answer your remarks:

Best regards,
 David
