There'll be a crowd along in a bit howling about censorship and intolerance and how we shouldn't judge people on their beliefs. I wonder how many of them would feel the same if Eich had donated to a campaign to illegalize interracial marriage.

I would. His personal beliefs, however off the wall they are, have no correlation to his competency and effectiveness as a CEO. Should the board have taken a closer look at how good of a fit he would be with the culture of the company? Possibly, but to judge him solely on his beliefs and not his business ability is ridiculous.
