I'm orders of magnitude less aggressive than Brendan Eich was in his successful attempt to destroy thousands of other people's marriages. I haven't destroyed anyone's family, but Brendan has destroyed many, on purpose.

Do you agree with Brendan that gay and lesbian people don't deserve the same rights as straight people do, and that their marriages should be canceled and prohibited, and do you believe that was not at all "aggressive" of him to have done that, so you give him a pass on his hostile behavior?

Of course you're pushing a baseless conspiracy theory that Brendan Eich conspired with the board of Mozilla to lie about the reason that he left. He says he was not fired. They say he was not fired. Apparently you believe and want other people to believe they are all liars, and you are claiming they conspired to publicly agree to official language that was not true. Yet you have absolutely no proof of that. And why are you supporting someone you believe is a liar? Pretty inconsistent of you.

You ARE a conspiracy theorist, no matter how much (and because) you believe those baseless lies for which you have zero evidence, yet you try to spread. The view that you want to force on others is nowhere near half true, it's completely false and unsupported by the facts, and internally inconsistent, and aggressively homophobic.

The best rationalization you can come up with is your wild guess that Brendan was not able to tolerate the hostile work environment at Mozilla, which is unmitigated bullshit, and you know it. But as I already pointed out: it was BRENDAN who was deeply hostile towards his co-workers and users, not just by his words, but by his ACTIONS. That's a well documented undisputed fact.

Do you have any shred of evidence that any of his co-workers tried (or even succeeded) to destroy Brendan's marriage, the way that Brendan successfully tried to destroy their marriages, and the marriages of thousands of other same sex married Californian families?

Do you have any proof that Brendan was not able to do his work because of hostility in the work environment that was in any way comparable to his own aggressively homophobic anti-gay hostility, and his intentional actions (not just his words) of canceling many gay marriages?

Why are you trying to cast him as a martyr, by parroting tired old Alt-Right Incel GamerGate lies? Is that the kind of person you are? Do you disagree with the Supreme Court but agree with Brendan Eich that gay and lesbian people deserve fewer human rights than straight people because they are wrong to be who they are and love who they love, and do you also believe that his hostility towards gays and lesbians was completely and morally justified and excusable, and should be applauded and defended, as you're trying to do?

Why are you so aggressively against cancel culture, unless it is directed at gay families? And why are you so tolerant of hostility towards gays and lesbians, while so intolerant of anger towards homophobes who actually cancel marriages, that you spread baseless conspiracy theories to justify Brendan's hostility and aggressive acts of cancelation?
