> With Eich, we have someone who made a donation 6+ years ago and has never sought to give context to it or explain it or give further reflection to it, which means he either holds those anti-gay marriage views just as strongly today, or believes that apologies, or evolving viewpoints is a sign of weakness. Not really strong signs of confidence in a CEO, quite frankly.

And having a CEO that panders to the public opinion is better ... how?

Or he believes that this is a private matter and doesn't want to discuss his private opinions in public. Which is a good sign in a CEO for a company whose main concern is protecting privacy (and free speech and education, etc.).

Isn't that what a CEO is supposed to do?

Left hand: Complains that CEOs/politicians don't listen and are out of touch Right hand: Complains that CEOs are pandering

...what?
