Commenters To Dropbox CEO: Houston, We Have a Problem
theodp (442580) writes "On Friday, Dropbox CEO Drew Houston sought to quell the uproar over the appointment of former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to the company's board of directors, promising in a blog post that Rice's appointment won't change its stance on privacy. More interesting than Houston's brief blog post on the method-behind-its-Condi-madness (which Dave Winer perhaps better explained a day earlier) is the firestorm in the ever-growing hundreds of comments that follow. So will Dropbox be swayed by the anti-Condi crowd ("If you do not eliminate Rice from your board you lose my business") or stand its ground, heartened by pro-Condi comments ("Good on ya, DB. You have my continued business and even greater admiration")? One imagines that Bush White House experience has left Condi pretty thick-skinned, and IPO riches are presumably on the horizon, but is falling on her "resignation sword" — a la Brendan Eich — out of the question for Condi?"
Same intolerant crap.
We don't want anything to do with a corporation that has Condi on the board. We determine what we want our worlds to be like... and we don't want Condi Rice in our world. At all.
I want everything she touches to be radioactive.
She earned it.
I am not calling for people to do that, my side tends to be better than that. I was simply pointing out what those do all the time with that statement. They like to accuse the other side of being racist and waging a war on women, and now they are trying to railroad a woman of color? You know damn well if this was a liberal woman, and the conservatives were doing this al sharpton would be all over the place screaming at the top of his lungs how Conservative hate women and are racists. I was pointing out the cry baby antics of those who want to see everything they dont like destroyed rather than just allowing them to do what they want
As i said in the previous article on the the mozilla CEO, I have no issue with boycotts, Hell I dont go to walmart or starbucks, I dont use ebay, and I tell my friends that I dont and my reasons. But there is a big difference between that, and activly trying to force someone out of a job as they did with mozilla, and want to do here.
Icant lie, id laugh if she did get firresign, but it doesnt make it the right thing to do
have you seen my sig? there are many others like it but none that are the same
there are other reasons to fault dropbox without bringing her into it
I would put hiring a war criminal towards the top of the list of things companies should not do.
When will these loser knock this shit off?
When she is locked in an Iraqi jail cell for the rest of her life.
All of these criminals from the Bush administration need to be blacklisted from employment with any public company and any government agency. If we can't get the government to prosecute them we should at least make clear they are unwelcome in civil society.
the mozilla CEO
The Mozilla CEO is an idiot who has demonstrated he lacks the judgment to run a public organization with a diverse staff and customer base.
Condaleezza Rice is a war criminal who should be in jail.
