What a ridiculous self-righteous rant.

Brendan Eich did not harass any of his colleagues yet he was forced out of his position because of his personal beliefs.

Maybe you should "get the fuck out of our industry" and focus on your fight for social justice. "People like you" are ruining the software industry.

If the dudebro frat brogrammer scene is the "software industry" you're trying to keep from being "ruined", then I say we ruin it as fast as possible.

And yes, Brandon Eich got run out of town because of his political beliefs. They ran contrary to the stated beliefs of the organization he was going to run. When you're the CEO of something as public as the Mozilla Foundation those sort of things will be scrutinized. If he was just running Brandon Eich Consulting, LLC no one would have thought twice about it.
