To summarize the real issue here: if we stopped using a company's products just because we disagree with the personal views of its founders, leaders or employees, we wouldn't use any products at all. This event worries me because it makes freedom of speech effectively irrelevant.
If OkCupid said that they were planning to stop using Javascript because of his views I would have respected them a lot more than simply vilifying someone for their private personal donations to causes they believe in.
