Ah yes, he could've spared himself the trouble by just parroting empty words. The heretic should've just recanted!

>there is no reason to believe his vague "stance" on equality.

There is: no one at Mozilla Co. publically doubted his stance on equality, in fact you had many coming to his side. It was people at Mozilla Fnd. who've never interacted with him, were the ones with doubts.

But instead of waiting for Eich, who said "I can only ask for your support to have the time to “show, not tell”; and in the meantime express my sorrow at having caused pain,[1]" to actually back up his words with actions, a bunch of social justice warriors decided that the heretic must burn. I'm not going to call them equal-marriage rights advocates because they're just acted like a bunch of bullies who thought he'd somehow "evolve" like our politicking President did.

It's shameful.

Hello to the person who decided to downvote all of my posts in a dead discussion, though. You must be so proud. Could've at least replied with a comment comparing Eich to the KKK or something.

Two tips:

1) Don't whine about downvotes.

2) You can't downvote comments replying to your own, so the only post I could (and did) downvote was your first one.
