Are you holding that against Mozilla too?

In my experience it is best to avoid following one's filter bubble on "how someone is viewed", especially in today's tribal regressive-left world. But YMMV!

Nope, just like how I don't hold what Jake Appelbaum may or may have not done against the Tor Project. I know we (the general public) will likely never have a good grasp of what happened inside Mozilla or the Tor Project when either of these events occurred.

Nice pot shot with the tribal regressive-left bit btw. Sadly inaccurate though.

The truly cheap shot here is lumping me in with the utterly unrelated case of Jake Appelbaum, who has had many accusations against him, while I have had zero. False equivalence piled on false claims looks like malice, so no point in arguing.

Not saying you have accusations of sexual misconduct against you, but you definitely angered the 3 board members that quit over your appointment as CEO, and upset many Mozilla employees.

Some discussions happened internally, we don't have the full story, and I won't be using your products due to the murky situation at Mozilla & your past support of certain political causes.
