No but I'll forgive you for startling me.

Which is the scale of Mozilla "badness" compared to the rest, even you.

And especially in the ligh of the good things they do.

You can be a critic, but be so in balance with the good things, otherwise you are making doing good something so ingrate a lot of people will give up.

If you thing doing the right thing is easy, you have not been doing a lot of it.

If those are the options, yes a stab is better than decapitation.

Of course a stab is better than decapitation. The point of the analogy is to ask whether the stabber is your friend.

If he didn't decapitate me, but stabbed me instead I'd say he's a friend

The more apt analogy in that case might be "would you prefer I decapitate you, or forget to buy you a souvenir on my road trip," to better illustrate the difference in severity between Google's and Mozilla's actions.
