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'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.

They'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.

How are they not treating Brendan Eich equally? He's the bigot here who wants to deny them happiness, not the other way around.
