On the other hand, those that didn't agree with those views were free to boycott and criticize Mozilla. Mozilla Foundation was also free to live with those consequences or decide that they didn't want their brand to be associated or muddled by its CEO's accidentally public position on a very sensitive topic. My view: It's a shame that Eich decided to stand his ground on this issue. It's a real shame that he felt so strongly about his position that he sacrificed his job for it. I wish he would have found something more important to stand his ground over.

Yes, it's a real shame that he sees support for gay-marriage as an affront to his moral or religious values.

Yeah, I support Eich's brave stance to stigmatize minorities.

As another poster said, having the courage of your convictions is only great when you're doing good. Being convinced you're on a moral crusade blessed by God has several unfortunate historical precedents which I wouldn't want anyone to emulate.
