Not sure how Mozilla “denied religious liberty” to Eich. He left of his own accord, forced out by a very vocal homosexual minority. The man wasn’t fired for his religious beliefs. I’ve not read a single article that referenced Eich’s religious beliefs in any way. They all simply stated that Eich donated to the Prop 8 initiative. Any assumptions as to his beliefs were centered solely around that fact.
That being said, I think this hill is not one to die on for a cause. Mozilla is not going anywhere because of this. I feel for Eich and feel that he made a poor decision. He should’ve stayed and fought, but the decision was his alone. Let the homosexuals bellyache. If anything, they are proving to the world that it’s not equality they want, it’s submission to the homosexual agenda; and that’s something for which the majority of Americans will not stand.
And yet here is Mozilla, a corporate American, not standing up for their former CEO. No - Eich wasn't fired. But the Mozilla board didn't publicly express regret or anger at the circumstance, instead adopting a nonsensical attitude that they stand for both tyranny of the minority and free speech.
Not a hill to die on? That's certain. But it's also not friendly ground for those who espouse freedom. Replacing Mozilla is inexpensive and easy. Apparently the Mozillians forgot that.
Own accord or forced? The two cannot coexist.
Oh - and I did not use the phrase "denied religious liberty". I noted that Mozilla failed to defend one of its founders and (then) CEO. In doing so, they furthered the intentional harm caused by OKCupid.
