It is their product, they've given plenty of notice. It is the fault of those still using the unsupported product if they have an issue related to its fitness for use.

How about you? You willing to hold yourself up to the standards you hold for others?
The one espousing the view often can't. You think it is fine to quantify and qualify things as you see fit and use those metrics to define what is right and wrong. Would you lose your job if your private actions where made public? Do you think people should be forced to publicly declare what they support even thought we submit private ballots? Are you willing to let your life be stripped bare in public and take the resulting actions?
Your smugness is showing.
So in affect the behavior is OK if it isn't public? He's the same guy running Mozilla if his donation isn't public. Would you lose your job if some of your private behavior was public? Are you lying to your employer by the lie of omission?
You really think he just resigned of his own volition?
You're espousing fascist views.
Those fighting for "rights" often overlook the right of others to their rights. Maybe he shouldn't have to have his donations published in the first place. Why can't I have a right to privacy about what I support and belief in. I disagree with Eich's position but he has a right to believe it. I'd suggest a more rational tact is to work at showing society in general that bigotry in any form is bad.
You think that this is the best way for the issue to be handled? I don't agree with the man but I don't like the tactics and don't believe he should have lost his job over it. Are you without "sin".
This is the same, it is a group of people, McCarthy didn't act alone, going after those that disagree with them. You're attempts at portraying this as different fall flat. I don't agree with the man but I don't find the bullying, and that is what it is, tasteful. You will have to interact with those in life that you don't agree with, that is just the truth.
I don't agree with his position, but I don't think he should lose his job over it. It is ridiculous to me. There is plenty I disagree with in the world but McCarthy like tactics aren't acceptable to me.
Is it only bad because he is CEO? Can the mailroom kid hate anybody he wants publicly without regard to worrying about losing his job?
Some matter more than others?
So if we all put our truths out there, what then? I can guarantee I've had life experiences that some would fine abhorrent, am I only keeping my job through the lie of ommission?
I feel bad for him, it is only because of his public position that this is an issue. If you dig deep enough, none of us should keep our jobs.
