re: #259 Ming

Speaking of public relations, the decision to remove Eich as CEO may have had more to do with business, and less to do with political viewpoints, than many of us have been assuming. I’m thinking of what OK Cupid did, encouraging Firefox users to access their site with another browser. I wouldn’t be surprised if this caused a panic among the Mozilla Board of Directors. Can you imagine trying to hold your own in the “browser wars”, if additional web sites were to do what OK Cupid did? It’s not like Chrome is sitting still. The Board of Directors may have felt they had no choice but to remove Mr. Eich.

I think the OK Cupid thing was a factor but technically he stepped down voluntarily, he wasn’t removed.
