re: #246 Killgore Trout
It wasn’t a secret. The board knew about his politics but decided he was the best pick for the job anyways.
Then almost half the board quit and a bunch of employees protested the decision. Not soon after the controversy went viral and Mozilla saw their reputation, goodwill, stock price, and ability to attract and retain talent at stake.
You don’t seem to care that the board’s initial decision turned out to be a bad one, why is that? Instead you’ve decided to lament public opinion’s organic ability to effect change, deliberately conflating every positive and negative example of that into some kind of inchoate circular retardese where free speech is under attack by free speech.
