I completely agree where you're coming from however, in the case of Mozilla I believe that the reference is relevant.

If you see that the company is producing a good product that you're donating to support. Would the "customers" (supporters) want to support the time and cost associated with kicking out the CEO over personal+(believed to be) private activities? (Context: Brandon Eich donated 1k of his personal money to a conservative/anti-gay org, and an activist within mozilla found+escalated this and claimed hostile work environment, eventually got him removed)

If I was donating, I would be pissed to know that valuable time was wasted about that and the loss of talent of personal politics and disagreement.

I'm responding to the word "degenerate", which was name-calling and flamebait. I don't see any problem with the comment otherwise. I've taken out the word "activism" in my GP comment to make that clearer.

Edit: "don't see any problem" does not mean I agree with the comment. It means I don't see any other place that it broke the site guidelines.

No one ever claimed hostile work environment. Where'd you get that?

The L.A. Times published the CA state database of political donations >= $100 in size, activists searched it for known names. That was in 2012.

Hey Brenden!

I mentioned this before and the claims were that you lost the "trust of the employees" infering that the work environment wasn't feasible. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23681475

I think for a private action that's insane. But oh well.

What part of being heavily opposed to homophobic organisation is degenerate in your opinion?

Please don't start this again. HN is a site for curiosity, not repetition (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...) and particularly not flamewars (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html), which are the most destructive form of repetition.

The GP should not have posted flamebait, and the repliers should not have taken the bait.

lol, you brought it up.
