re: Co-Founder of Firefox forced out for views on Gay Marriage

This isn't about a product whether it rises or fails on it's merit.

This is hounding someone because of his personal beliefs.

Those aren't mutually exclusive ideas.

Well, the "product" part at least. Take that out and replace it with "organization" or "company." Some people don't want to do business with a company that they don't agree with politically or socially. They're free to make that choice. If a company feels that they need to get rid of someone who is hurting their image because of his/her beliefs, that's their prerogative.

Let the market (i.e., buyers and sellers) figure it out. If Mozilla fricked up by firing this guy, they'll know soon enough.
