What makes you think I'm a SJW? I'm an active member of /r/TumblrInAction.

Trying to oust Brendan Eich out of his professional position because you don't like his personal opinions is SJW-style bigotry and harassment. It's an example of everything that is wrong with the SJW scene. You don't try to convince people through civil debate (and just give up if you can't), you insult/bully/harass/mob/threaten/disenfranchise people into accepting your position. This is beyond the pale.

You've confused me with someone else. I haven't called for him to step down or for Mozilla to fire him.

That's the endgame for this entire witch hunt against him.

Who's talking about a witch hunt? My article is about my personal decision to choose another browser, and the conditions for reconsidering Firefox. None of those conditions involve him losing his job. I don't think you actually read it.

Don't play dumb. All of this so-called "activism" is meant to put pressure on Mozilla to fire Eich. It is a witch hunt. And you are complicit.

This from the person who doesn't think we should interpret and judge a man's public anti-equality political contributions? Why do you give the benefit of the doubt to him and no one else?

I am calling you out as complicit in the witch hunt against Eich, whih you are. It is as simple as that.
