16-18 years ago. Is bigotry always a permanent condition?

At that time, it was 10 years ago, which is what I was responding to.

    Is bigotry always a permanent condition?

Yes, people famously change more as they get older. Eich was already a man in his 40s at that point in time. He also doubled-down instead of acknowledging any wrongdoing.

Has he apologized?

You know, you're condemning most of California. The measure he supported won the vote. Would you like to drive all of them out of their jobs?

I wouldn't want to use anything that earn them money, if I could avoid it. That it was half the population doesn't change my view.

I understand that it is difficult for me to shun (which is basically what I'm talking about) so many people, or to even know if they should be shunned, but it would definitely be my preference.

My man, we do live in a society.

As if apologizing to the cancel mob ever worked out of anyone. All that does is affirm the mob.

Your perspective only confirms that it’s popular within the Mozilla audience to ban people for their political opinion when it’s slightly out of currently-approved opinions. TODAY. Not 18 years ago. Today.

Making Mozilla a politically-extremist organization intolerant to other opinions than theirs, and thus incompatible with being a steward of the global web.
