Three Mozilla board members step down over new CEO appointment

What does Mr. Eich's position on gay marriage have to do with his expertise in coding and business management?

I didn't say it did, you are only looking at half of the picture. As a business leader there is also ethics involved, especially if it may strike a media frenzy. And a BS media frenzy is exactly what people are trying to start over this guys personal life.

Our Forefathers fought, bled and died so he could have an opinion.

You are sick in the head, if you think our forefathers fought and died so that anyone could be gay. Keep trying to hold the Constitution out of context. The biblical world does it every day, because over the centuries the context has been totally forgotten.

Learn to read! I never said that. I was talking about everyone jumping on Eich, because he has an opinion. He has a right to an opinion and a right to voice it and our Forefathers did ensure that. AND I never hold the Constitution out of context, whatever you mean by that - again - try learning to read. I am so sick of these stories with all this PC bullcrap that dominate our news today. AND I am sick of the 2-3% trying to re-write our laws and change our Constitution for a special interest group. Got it now or do you need more explanation?

I got it now, and believe it or not completely agree. Thanks for clarifying.

Understood, but it wasn't Mr. Eich that created this media frenzy. He happened to have a different point of view, that view is now verboten, and he is getting vilified for it. It wouldn't matter what business he were to lead, he would be hounded for having a differing viewpoint because our society now does not accept anyone who thinks only traditional marriage is good for society.

Gotta love it, if you don't agree with the gay lifestyle you will get drummed out everywhere. Ridiculous. This man's beliefs should have no bearing on whether he does a good job as a CEO or not. I'm disgusted with the whole gay agenda now, and I really didn't care one way or the other before.

Funny to see so many people are coming to this guys defense.
fact is that hating is nobody's business in business. lesson 1.
this country has so many citizens. the fact that he is monetizing out of us and getting rich to then go to the highest bidder and bid against our rights is not fair.
anybody read the news about rich people asking to have more voting rights based on their income?
wake up and smell the coffee.
bottom line, there is no right in judging and denying other people basic civil human right, of the pursue of their own happiness. nobody is asking for a tax beak (which they get).
Human rights should not be any better in the east coast than they are in the west coast.
its a matter of existing and it is at the core of our civilization.
summing it down.... no its not fair or just right to let an individual with no respect to other peoples basic civil rights run an organization that is monetizing their actions and habits. if he wants t make money, go and lift something with your own straight shoulders. its no different than finding it just innocent to have a few slaves carry your fat *** around.
