When you're attempting blackmail, you need to ensure that your hostage has value to your victims that is commensurate with your ransom demand.
You have a shitty puzzle game that's getting "thousands of downloads" and you want Mozilla to fire their CEO over that.
Not going to happen. We can do without your shitty puzzle game, thanks.
- it_learnses 12y agoIt's not just them or their puzzle game. It's not just gay people either. It's everybody who wants everyone to be treated equally and not be denied their humanity. The CEO's values fly in the face of Mozilla's values. That's why he should be shown the exit door.
- transitionality 12y agoThey're certainly not treating Brendan Eich equally. Discrimination on the basis of political stance is bigotry, too. Their position is extremely hypocritical, and by defending it, you become complicit in their hypocrisy.
- it_learnses 12y agoHow are they not treating Brendan Eich equally? He's the bigot here who wants to deny them happiness, not the other way around.
- transitionality 12y agoThey're discriminating against him on the basis of his political stance, trying to start up a witch hunt or mob against him, and trying to disenfranchise him of his employment. They're bigots, pure and simple, and so is everyone who defends them.
- it_learnses 12y agostop marginalizing this issue by calling it a "political stance." Hitler's "political stance" was to get rid of jews. Political stances affect real lives. Get your head out of your ass.
- transitionality 12y agoEvery stance affects someone's life or other, in some way or other. You're trying to get this man fired. That affects his life in a very negative way. You don't seem to care much about it.
