If you want avoid “timeouts” on FB don’t make declarative statements. Instead use Socratic dialog and ask questions. The libtards all get pissed but they have a hard time getting a ban enforced especially since a well crafted question will unhinge many of them and they will attack first!
Very interesting point on how to communicate with prickly, bossy, intolerant libs, used to a ‘reflecting pool’ of opinion. State you ideas as a hypothetic proposal, allowing the listener to fill in the blanks, connect the dots or do the math on their own. This vs making blanket statements that are very unpopular on that site.
Thanks Mad Dawgg...I had a little too much Cardhu 12 Yr old in me...lol
I posted this on FB over the weekend and surprise; I have yet to be banished into outer darkness!
Since the MOZILLA Corporate site seems well insulated against user feedback or communication, I’ll just hang my gripe about them on FB as well as a few other public forums and perhaps they’ll eventually get the message.
Apparently I’m not the only Mozilla user to have heartburn over their blatently capricious and hateful discrimination against former CEO Brendan Eich in retaliation for his failure to conform with the apparently dominant militant corporate homosexual agenda.
(Link back to this FR discussion)
Had this been a bunch of “Breeders” driving a Sodomite out of his position because of his personal lifestyle / sexuality choices and activism, we all know that there would be hell to pay, and more likely than not the entire corporation would be quickly destroyed and some people would not only be litigated out of their socks, they could very well be facing hard prison time.
I really don’t care what Mozilla management and staff do in their spare time or how they “swing” in their personal lives; that’s really none of my business.
I’ve used the Mozilla browser and E-mail server programs for years, and the old Netscape Navigator system before Mozilla took it over some time ago.
It’s not been perfect, but for the price (free) I really can’t complain.
Currently I’m running Mozilla “Sea Monkey” browser / e-mail suite package, and it does about everything I need to do on the internet, and does it acceptably well.
A Mozilla user’s forum http://www.seamonkey-project.org/community#support
has been really helpful where the official company support utility can be a little tough to penetrate and marginally responsive. Then again what do we want for free?
When any entity, individual or corporate, turns their chosen moral, values, and lifestyles into a dictatorial mandate and imposes it on others, aggressively persecuting and punishing anyone who dares to disagree or who fails or refuses to conform to their standards of philosophy, religion, political ideology or morality, then a critical line has been crossed.
As about any homosexual or lesbian would probably insist, a persons personal sexuality or relational choices have little if anything to do with their ability or competence to perform their work or pursue their career of choice.
Any employer who discriminated against an employee or corporate officer solely on the basis of their homosexuality would be in serious violation of not only popular social standards, but civil and criminal law as well, and subject to judicial litigation and / or prosecution and sanction for their discrimination.
Surely there would be economic sanctions from the “Gey” community as well, as they have effectively demonstrated many times in the past. Their political and economic power as a group seems far more formidible than their population percentages might suggest, and it is not a faction to be thwarted or meddled with lightly.
Traditonal heterosexuals, particularly in the Christian community, seem to have no such influence or respect, despite a dwindling yet probably still superior numerical advantage. Not only are we fair game for many forms of discrimination and public contempt and humiliation, but outright persecution has been increasingly tolerated by society at large to the point where it now seems rather popular and trendy.
They haven’t started feeding us to the lions like the Roman Empire used to do... not here in America anyway... not yet... but in all too many instances if a Believer wants to hold on to a decent job, enroll in a college or university, or simply stay out of trouble they had best keep their spiritual and moral convictions a close secret from all but the most trusted of fellow Believers, lest they find the wrath of Sodom poured out upon them and suffer considerable Earthly consequences.
As we are expected to be ever tolerant of alternative belief traditons and lifestyles, we are being tolerated less and persecuted more, while expected to just shut up and get used to it.
While discrimination against a homosexual is a high crime and misdemeanor in our society, discrimination and even overt persecution against a person of Faith (as long as it isn’t Islam of course) is generally “cool”.
This diminishment of tolerance for the Christian and to some extent Jewish Faith and moral traditions was one of the points expressed in the movie “God Isn’t Dead” - although I think that the movie could have gone even further to expose the issue.
Getting back to Mozilla; I really don’t like to boycott anyone over differences of opinion, but I also don’t feel that tolerating such blatant, spiteful persecution of a CEO on the sole basis of his dissent from the homosexual agenda bodes well for the integrity of our society at large.
If we tolerate or just ignore such corporate terrorism, it will surely get worse, and the implications for future resentments, tensions, and conflict will likely be exacerbated to the point where bad things are likely to happen.
So should I abandon and uninstall my Mozilla products in protest?
At the moment I’m seriously contemplating doing just that, even though I can’t see where it’s going to economically impact Mozilla very much to speak of.
I will certainly stop recommending their progams to friends and associates, as I have been doing for years now.
As much as I really don’t care for GOOGLE, their “Chrome” browser seems to be a pretty stable and capable browser alternative. I’ve used it a couple of times and have no complaints.
What I’m going to use for my e-mail however I’m not sure; have tried several of the freeware alternatives and haven’t really liked any of them.
Of course importability of address books and mail folders is an important feature.
Does anyone have a suggestion?
