What he said isn't wrong though.

The ex-Mozilla CEO had personal opinions that the Internet masses didn't like and used mob mentality to get him to step down. They actually wanted him fired.

Not everyone is going to agree with you and getting someone fired because they don't agree with you isn't progressive, tolerant, or civil. It's just plain wrong.

What if it had been the reverse? Christians got together and got a ceo to step down because they donated to a pro-gay marriage proposal. Those same people would be outraged.

This is why I know that it has nothing to do with being progressive or free..and everything to do with having power over other people. It's sick.
