ok. on your clarification.

but, i do not see why Eich is wrong in his stand, nor, that his
being against lgbt makes him an asshole. he has as much right to
be against them as you seem to have for them.

by both moral and religious guides, he is more right than you are.

plus, who called you an asshole?

maybe not. but what would you replace it with?

as far as sites go with their messages about using mozilla,
well, is that not a part of what freedom of speech is all about.

as i read it and other articles i have read about Eich, there
is way too much blowing [excuse wording :-)] out of proportion
Eich's personal opinion and what his potentials are as head of
mozilla.

just because he is against lgbt does not mean he is not capable
of running mozilla. who knows, he may even get after firefox
devs to do better and stop trying to imitate gaagle chrome.

what would be fitting, in a hilarious way, is if somehow someone
came up with an add-on for firefox that would pop up a window
with something like "Warning. This site is pro lgbt." of course,
i am just joking.

also, to me, the lgbt group is making way too much noise about
something that would be best toned down and left alone
altogether. continued bitching will do nothing but cause more
resentment.
