Thank you for stereotype of me. That's quite progressive of you. And there is no right or wrong side of history, as we are not through with it yet. Let it be known that in my original post, I did not single out one person, nor attack any one position. It was originally supposed to be a one-off remark/question. I knew exactly how it would ruffle feathers, but it's an honest question, as it was the central catalyst why Brendan decided to go. If that catalyst was so important to Mozilla, than the opposite of fighting against gay marriage, fighting for it, should be an opinion of the new CEO, if tolerance, community, acceptance, and freedom are so important to the organization. We should know about it. |

Sure you did, when you wrote this:
> No word on if he supports the GLBT community hook, line and sinker.
"Hook, line, and sinker" has a pretty clear meaning, as demonstrated by these examples from dictionaries of American idioms:
> The public isn't swallowing the administration's policies hook, line, and sinker.
> They made up such a good story that we fell for it hook, line, and sinker.
> She fell for our story hook, line, and sinker.
> They believed every word hook, line, and sinker.
(via http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/hook,+line,+and+sinker)
You suggested that supporting the GLBT community is the same as falling for a lie. That's a straightforward attack on the position of the GLBT community and on people who support it.
It's cool if you want to back down from that attack -- I think it would be the right thing to do. But don't act like we don't know what words mean.
