@richardjapenga You always have a choice about how you make your money and what money (& corresponding strings) you accept.

@aral Very easy to say from 1st world country, also not so much when you are talking about 300 mil. a year to keep your company running. -
@richardjapenga Yes, very easy to say when I’m struggling to bootstrap a true alternative.

I think that work "homophobic" gets used too much. I don't know
@BrendanEich personally, but do not believe he fears gays. /cc@aral -
.
@nearyd You’re right, my bad. I should try to be more precise. I will use ‘bigoted’ from now on. +@BrendanEich

@aral I may be ignorant here but what does his homophobia have to do with his running of mozilla? The google income issue seems orthogonal. -
@JohnnoNolan It has no more to do with it than if he was racist or a misandrist. Google income is textbook case of institutional corruption. -
@aral Google income has obvious implications for mozilla. But Eich's donation is personal as long as he doesn't let that effect his job. -
@aral these are why we have laws, right? To allow people who have differing opinions to coexist within a framework?

@aral as for his political positions... Do you only buy and use things whose CEO's agree with you on every political viewpoint? -
