Ask HN: Why was the CNET interview with Brendan Eich taken down?

3 pointsby datalusabout 11 years ago
I don&#x27;t get this at all. He either embraces the inclusiveness Mozilla espouses or he steps down. Simple as that.<p>This is a human rights issue, there really is no other way around it. It&#x27;s sad on all sides. Mozilla is doing work I support and believe in, but Eich has really tainted that. If Eich continues with his logical conclusion, then Mozilla will fall on the wrong side of history.<p>http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cnet.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;mozilla-ceo-gay-marriage-firestorm-could-hurt-firefox-cause-q-a&#x2F;

It was not &quot;taken down&quot;. It fell in rank. That may sound like nitpicking, but when it comes to inflammatory topics we all have a responsibility to be precise with our language.<p>The post fell in rank because of user flags and HN&#x27;s flamewar detector.<p>Finally, this post is off-topic for HN (and always has been). When you have questions like this, please email hn@ycombinator.com.
