After Eich resigns, conservatives slam Mozilla–and call for boycott

Here is the Simplified English on what has happened until now, for those who did not follow:

- There is a class with an X number of students

- Among those students are B. Eich and L. Joe

- During a class meeting, the class starts to discuss what they should get for launch: apples, or apples and oranges

- Eich said that the launch should be apples, Joe wanted the chance to choice between apples and oranges

- The choice has fallen on apples only

- On the next week, this has been changed, now it's apples or oranges

- On the following week, Eich becomes the head of the Mathematics Study Group

- In said group, students are present from both sides

- Joe asks his friends to boycott the study group, claiming that Eich is not fitting for the task because he hates oranges

- Few group members ask Eich to leave. Most say that the claims neither it is related to maths, nor does it disturb them

- Next day, Eich leaves the Math group to protect his fellow number-lovers

- Apple-only students start to boycott the maths group for outing Eich

Oh, and before any of you claim that marriage rights are not on the same level as choosing a fruit, I'd like to remind you that: a.) this is to show reactions of persons and groups, not about the topic of argument, and b.) eating is one of the most elemental need of any living human.

FWIW mozilla is a huge supporter of open and free access to the internet, as well as consumer privacy. They have also launched something recently, IIRC it was a privacy product. (probably to the benefit of the consumer and the OSS community, and probably free as well).

We should fight this, especially in a post-Snowden world.

The reason? All it takes for this guy to lose his job and "conservatives" to boycott his million dollar company was an attack on his reputation, screenshotted from a website, of a political campaign donation. Very classic "Smear-campaign attack" practiced by TPB for centuries.

Did Mozilla support the "HTTPS everything" as well?
