I haven't checked whether the quote is correct and correctly attributed
(there have been a number of misattributed quotes in the news).

However, it seems to me that there is a large jump from a quote that
essentially says "Oh gosh, Brendan is in trouble" to the conclusion that
the board pressured Brendan in resigning. Also note that, once Brendan
informed the board of his resignation, that same board attempted to
convince Brendan to stay in another C-level position at Mozilla, which
Brendan declined.

By the way, since we have received a number of messages from users
voicing their concerns on the whole story, we have put together a FAQ.
