It's strange that this is getting downvoted. Nobody went and physically abused Eich to remove him as CEO. It's strange that those who are supporting Eich for his right to his own views are against our right to express outrage.

I hope you're not saying that bullying only occurs when physical abuse happens, because if you are, you're pretty much denying that cyber-bullying happens. Whether or not the response to Eich counts as cyberbullying, I'm making no comment on that.


The right to express outrage is not an absolute. See http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/bz/archives/2014/04/speech_an... for what I consider some obvious limitations on it.

You're saying there were no instances of item #1 on my list, and I believe you are correct. However, there certainly were instances of item #2.
