JavaScript Inventor Brendan Eich Named New CEO of Mozilla

darthcamaro (735685) writes "Mozilla today announcedthat Brendan Eich would be its new CEO . Eich had been serving as Mozilla's CTO and has been with Mozilla since day one — literally day one. Eich was a Netscape engineer when AOL decided to create the open-source Mozilla project in 1998. The choice of Eich as CEO seems obvious to some, after a string of recent short-tenured CEOs at Mozilla's helm."

    There may be some backlash due to Brendan Eich's support of the anti-gay marriage Prop 8 initiative in CA

    So this Brandon Eich is a nasty little fascist, it would appear.

    I'm not gay but any person who supports fascist measures like trying to control which set of consenting
    adults is simply not a decent human being. Attempting to control such things is ugly and ignorant, and is
    a fool's errrand as well, because people are going to do what makes them happy regardless of some damned
    rule made by some fuckwit like Brandon Eich.

    Maybe Eich will get cancer. I'd sort of enjoy hearing that was happening, to be honest, because I am pretty
    goddamned tired of fascist pieces of shit who try to impose their rules on others.

    As to his support of Prop 8., I'm sure he had his reasons.

    Yes. That reason is he's a piss-drinking fuckwit who should be voted off the island.

    Hurr durr opinionz lololol.

    No. Fuck off. Nobody is entitled to shit down the throat of Liberty. If you think it's cool to attempt to enact legislation to deny equality to people - over a matter which has absofuckinglutely no bearing on yourself - you're fucking wrong.
