And Mozilla employees, contributors, and users have the same exact right as a private citizen to be upset about Eich's personal beliefs on the matter.

The "right to have your own opinion" extends to everyone involved - pulling this card out to defend his beliefs doesn't end any debate.

They should have the exact same right in the exaxt same way: as "private citizens".

That is, not as Mozilla employees trying to oppose a CEO placement.

That they don't like his personal beliefs should in no way get in the way of working with him -- unless he brings those to the way the company operates.
