How do you figure that this is "evil" in any way? Who cares about the CEO

Everyone can choose what they consider evil.

I consider harassment for political opinions, evil. Privately held political opinions. And Mozilla barred itself from working with a top engineer, inventor of Javascript, for privately-held political reasons, and gave reigns from engineers to business types of people. They kept Mozilla dependent on Google, an economic tie which sidesteps Mozilla from being an alternative to Google.

Some comments say I’m holding a grudge, but Brendan Eich is not the only one harassed, it was a statement from Mozilla, it meant We do not tolerate other opinions

I consider harassment for political opinions, evil. You are free to believe differently, but at least you cannot say with a straight face that Mozilla has a moral standing against Google.

Do you have any evidence at all of Mozilla doing anything? The facts are he resigned as CEO after visible external pressure.

> Privately held

Which part of donating money to ensure a class of people don't get the same rights as the donor is private? That's as public of a move as one can imagine.
