I agree with you that you shouldnt oust people because of minor discrepancies but on the other side, you absolutely should draw the line somewhere.

The problem that any minority with hateful opposition has, that its subtle in the beginning until enough people normalized it, which is what trump is doing right now. And since you cant look into peoples heads, whether they are able to reason freely or distorted by emotions / biases, you have to measure by proxy.

This is the conflict line you have to draw, and its difficult, yes, but since the overton window moves fast, its needed more then ever. And i guess the mozilla insiders had the best position to observe these little telling moments.

Yep. I also draw the line if you are hateful against minorities. I don't care what you think inside your heads or what are you afraid of. But if you make the effort to make the lifes of people already in danger and suffering even worse, that definitely needs to be called out.
