Eich isn't really the issue here ... it's the principle at stake. A boycott of Mozilla isn't the same as a boycott of A&E because there's no similarity between the two "remedies" that principled conservatives should be looking for.
In the case of A&E, the message was clear: Get Phil Robertson back on the air, or we're turning off your station.
In the case of Mozilla, there's no similar remedy because Eich would have no compelling reason to go back and work for the bastards that run the company. He took the money and ran -- which is exactly what he should have done because there's no way in hell he would have been able to work in that position anyway. The "remedy" in this case is to drive Mozilla out of business so it doesn't matter who the 'effing CEO is.
Firefox is toast. There are too many alternative browsers. I used Firefox exclusively ever since it first came out. But not anymore. We are not alone. Even liberals are dropping Firefox over this issue.
Forcing Eich to resign was the stupidest corporate decision I have ever seen. The employees who called for his resignation will soon be joining the ranks of the unemployed. Eich took the money and ran. These idiots will have no money to take.
