No, the article doesn't give or deny support to Brendan. The article gives an answer to the question as to whether or not free speech was violated, which is currently what we're being attacked on at this point. We didn't violate anyone's free speech rights. We didn't even come close. The fact that the Mozilla Foundation employees were able to publicly ask for a CEO to step down is one example of allowing free speech. Then the fact that we're pointing people to this mailing list, which is our internal governance channel is another example of how Mozilla has allowed everyone to speak. Now we're being hit on two sides of people exercising their rights. One side is boycotting us because we chose him in the first place, the other side is boycotting us because he stepped down. I do find it interesting that the second side is boycotting us as a way to protest what came out of the first boycott.
