The better issue should be -- was that action mozilla the corporation or 
his personal action? This happened six plus years ago and beliefs change. 
When I was growing up it was OK to have separate but equal facilities, 
schools, what have you. Looking back we can see that it was wrong, but at 
that time, in that place it was not right.

Six years ago this issue was not even a blip on most peoples radar. 
However, with education, protests, and legal challenges we now know 
about same-sex marrage and for most people our collective idea of has 
shifted.

Blaming the corporation over what an individual employee, and Brendon Eich 
_was_ an employee, did seems like tossing the baby out with the bath 
water. Would we get this upset over average Joe Coder doing the same 
exact thing?
