http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/new-mozilla-ceo-prop-8-backlash Regardless of whether or not I agree with his stance or not (I don't) this type of "agree with us or we'll stomp our feet and demand an apology" crap is really starting to get on my nerves.
Why would he apologize? He did nothing wrong. He didn't agree with something and stood up for his believes, end of the story for me. Attempted blackmail. Agree with us or we'll make you suffer.
If you don't like his opinion, don't use Mozilla. Coerced apologies are about humiliation, not about forgiveness. Otherwise, why would anyone want an apology that's not voluntary?
I don't want an apology. I want money. Apparently you need to be completely sanitary and have no personal opinions one way or another to be the CEO of a firm. What a crock of shit.
I see the problem as these "special little snow flakes" actually believe they are special and people care about their opinions. They need to sue their parents for lying to them. They are not special, they do not matter and the world is not a sanitized for their protection place. The best cure for a bad case of butthurt in not demanding, unless it's demanding a double serving of shutting the f@ck up.
I see a once marginalized minority, now empowered, trying to create political capital by supporting self-serving issues en mass. Like the Jews 50 years ago. Look where it got them. I just don't think it'll work for the gays.
Yeah, to a certain extent I agree, Joe. But it's their tactics that have turned me against even listening to them. "If you don't agree you're a racist" shit. What happened to calmly debating your side and leaving it at "we don't agree?" Meh!
An apology isn't enough. People who commit thought crimes deserve public execution. We can't abide by pieces of scum that have incorrect opinions. Mozilla is obviously also a counter progressive organization. Their assets ought to be seized by the state and distributed to the less fortunate generally, and the much maligned gays in particular.
Hey this guy also invented JavaScript. You know what that means? If you program using js you are a homophobe. You must be burned!
