The problem here is that we have some people claiming to be against discrimination, yet they in turn have absolutely no problem engaging in such behavior toward Eich.
I make a simple claim: equality before the law, for all persons, is a necessary feature of a free society.
Notice how this says nothing about "tolerance", "discrimination", "diversity", "inclusiveness" nor any of the other frankly pathetic attempts people have tried at the "you're just as bad" argument.
