I notice that your site uses JavaScript. Did you know that Brendan Eich invented JavaScript? For consistency, you should not only remove JS from your site but also boycott every other site that uses it, including this one.
"Why I'm Boycotting Mozilla Products"<p>Because you need to invent BS crusades and then inform anyone about them in order to get attention?<p>Just a guess, it could just be because you cannot toleate someone holding an opinion counter to yours in an issue, and have to retaliate on him not by democratic procedures or exchange of ideas, but by causing him to lose his job.
Has B.Eich done anything do expose his views in the workplace? I don't think so. It's unfair to push your political/societal ideas on others in the company and demand they conform to them. I am saying that as a note to some employees demanding B.Eich to resign, because of the donation he made.<p>It's getting a bit ridiculous how some people are getting publicly bashed, because of their views. There is clear separation between the person with his views and the company with its vision.
Just because someone wants the word marriage to mean `union between biological man and biological woman` does not mean that that person is homophobic, this is a a display of ignorance coming from people asking for tolerance.<p>So far it has been not proven that Brendan Eich is homophobic, the only thing we know is that he wouldn't prefer to call same sex unions marriages.
One thing I've noticed a lot of with many of the arguments regarding this particular incident is blatant contradiction and hypocrisy. While these aren't unusual, they're particularly bad in this case.<p>This article, for instance, states the following: "Indeed, any right withheld from any group of people must be rallied against."<p>Yet the author makes that very claim in an article that basically suggests that people should not have the right to oppose homosexuality or gay marriage, and should not have the right merely to express such beliefs. He should be rallying against his own article and his own stance, in fact.<p>I'm not suggesting that he or anyone else should be denied the right to hold or to express contradictory or hypocritical viewpoints, of course. But the use of such arguments does make it hard to take one seriously, regardless of what the issue at hand is, and regardless of the position being expressed.
