This is ridiculous. Eich did something many of us - including myself - disagree with wholeheartedly. But he has a right to his opinion. He shouldn't have been fired.<p>OKCupid's response to this was extreme - "We wish him nothing but failure." Really? Because you disagree with him? I disagree with him too, and believe his view on this single issue is bigoted and crude, but I also recognize that he's made enormous contributions to technology. That's why he was made the CEO of an organization that he helped start, not because of his political beliefs.<p>If you can't believe something unpopular for fear of losing your job then that's a form of coercion, and it should be as abhorrent to all of us as restricting the right of same-sex individuals to marry.
