The left-wing anti-liberalism streak that's fueled this crisis is apalling to me personally. And those who were so insistent on burning Eich, the heretic, because he wouldn't recant will hopefully regret their actions once it happens to someone, for example, who donates to Planned Parenthood and is pressured to resign by a bunch of conservatives.

If you would have been outraged if he was pressured to resign for having the opposite opinion but think what happened is somehow appropriate: you are a bigot.

I wish him the best of luck, some good rest to think things over, and know that (despite his opinion otherwise) we are worse off when there's a Mozilla without Eich.

Is all this heated language really necessary?

You're kidding, right? Liberals get fired by their conservative employers for their views all the time. It's nice to see it work the other way for once.

Everyone with the "what if it were the other way around" argument is completely out of touch. Our side has been dealing with it all along. Sucks to see it thrown back at you, doesn't it? Time to eat your own dogfood.

Where's the evidence? And regardless of whether that's true or not, it's not right: you're effectively feeding social pressure to keep your beliefs private out of fear for retribution.

Almost as if you're reinforcing another closet on everyone else.

Tit for tat bullshit: you are no better than the anti-gay bullies.

I've supported equal marriage rights since high school, for the record, and lean left-lib.

"Liberals get fired by their conservative employers for their views all the time."

Burden of proof is on you to prove this. Citing an example here and there does not qualify, since that constitutes something like 0.000000001% of conservative bosses who have liberal employees. I have all day. Please provide your evidence. Thanks.
