A comment on Brendan Eich. Parent comment

I was glad to read this, but then today I noticed a new comment by Eich clarifying that no one tried to convince him to stay as CEO.

Perhaps your understanding is a little off. Maybe it's a prudent position to go back to not really knowing what happened between Eich and the board.

Anyway, I'm done being angry at Mozilla. You guys are doing an important thing. Calls for a boycott are counterproductive and will only hurt us all. What's done is done.

I just can't quite find it in my heart to support you anymore.

For what it's worth, https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2014/04/05/faq-on-ceo-resignat... has been updated with less weaselly language. So at this point my best guess on what happened is that it was Brendan that first brought up resigning, but the board was quite happy that he did so...

That seems likely.

I appreciate your continued efforts to bring clarity to the issue.

I was actually pretty disheartened to read that comment from Brendan, since it directly contradicted what I thought I'd been told by the board members. :(

And no, that does not make me happy.
