Jesus man, have some respect for other humans, and some leniency where it's warranted. It's possible to be critical of Mozilla and still be courteous. (Also see: my own criticism of Mozilla in this thread)

Cute video - You do you, I'll keep asking strangers on HN to not be dicks to people they've never met, who have nothing to do with the issue at hand.
Please tell me why anyone should bother being respectful of or lenient towards those who won't show the same decent behavior? They're messing with the tools people use to work. That alone earns them utter and complete disrespect. They've done this in a way that leaves them conspicuously unable to reply - they deserve no leniency for this.

First of all, Mozilla isn't being rude, they're being foolish. But to answer that question in general, the goal is to fix things, not make them generally shit, so one side has to show decency at least. Furthermore, even if you believe they're as bad as you say, that does not give everyone carte blanche to be awful.
Because you owe better to this community than to be brutally dismissive of others. If you want to post in a rage, please do so elsewhere; on HN commenters need a minimum level of self-control, quite independently of how wrong anybody else is.
