Ran across some info I found VERY interesting.. had been wondering if we could find out who some of the 'inside' complainers were:

"Since Thursday, several Mozilla employees have called for Eich to resign because of his view on marriage. A few took to Twitter to publicize their opinions:

    I’m an employee of @mozilla and cannot reconcile having @BrendanEich as CEO with our org’s culture & mission. Brendan, please step down.
    — Sydney Moyer (@sydneymoyer) March 27, 2014

    I’m an employee of @mozilla and I’m asking @BrendanEich to step down as CEO.

    I’m an employee of @mozilla and I’m asking @brendaneich to step down as CEO.
    — Chris McAvoy (@chmcavoy) March 27, 2014

    Like many @Mozilla staff, I’m taking a stand. I do not support the Board’s appointment of @BrendanEich as CEO. #Prop8 http://t.co/msKVNjuhgR

    Have waited too long to say this. I’m an employee of @mozilla and I’m asking @brendaneich to step down as CEO. https://t.co/K3OqeImUnU

Not sure many of you are even interested in this Mozilla mess anymore, so, instead of making a new thread, I figured it would do just as well in this old thread.

In the modern world, EVERYONE has a soapbox. For every Twitter or Facebook account with a supposed Mozilla employee feigning disdain for Eich, there are ten others silent on the issue.

I’ve NEVER been a part of this social media psychoses that’s gripping the world. I prefer my quiet little corner of America. If people want to know what I’m thinking, they’ll buy me a beer and ask me.

That said, I know conservatives who are part of the social media zeitgeist, and they spend more time posting pictures of their kids, pets, families, and chocolate cake recipes than they do opining on media red meat.

Notice “iamjessklein” started her Tweet with “Have waited too long to say this.” That tells me if avenues such as Twitter and Facebook didn’t exist, she’d sit and stew in her little cubicle because she has to. There’s a lot of crap in this world with which we have to put up. I’m not going to lose my job just to post my opinion on a site that tracks trends based on what people say in 140 characters.

I may hate my CEO’s politics. I may hate my HR department’s hiring practices. Having a job and caring for my family is paramount. Unless my company is making their money through means with which I morally or ethically disagree (i.e. theft, abortion, etc.), I’m going to sit down and shut up and be a good little worker bee.

Thanks for the list.
Now we have some idea who has been frantically deleting about 2,000 negative comments on Mozilla’s site per day.

Much of the opensource world are anti-Christian minions of globalism.

All the “community”-based concepts are simply designed to be a religion which followers believe in as a replacement for believing in God. Thus they become useful tools that will do things to support activist causes, and, even though they are intelligent to some degree, can’t see that they are simple cogs in a groupthink wheel.

Take Chris McAvoy, for example. Read his linkedin profile. He was VP of Technology at Threadless prior to working for Mozilla.

If you look at Threadless, it’s globalist/empty-headed-activist, it’s based in Chicago and is plugged into elite society in Chicago. From 2005 to 2009, Harper Reed was CTO of Threadless - Reed was CTO for Barack Obama’s 2012 “campaign”.

It’s essential to understand that it’s not just Mozilla. Many for-profit companies today are dutiful minions of globalism, and practically all non-profits are. Non-profits exist because the globalist/financial elites guided tax legislation and regulations to include provisions to allow them - and thus they can do work which is part of globalist monopolist agendas, but their portion of the P&L is exempt from taxes. Basically, one can have hundreds or even thousands of workers in one’s “foundation” which work on projects that earn or save your profit-making corporations billions, and your “donations” to your foundation are tax deductible and your foundation itself pays no income tax. In the case of “open source”, it mostly does two things: 1) it gets very smart geeks to come up with software that is key to your globalist operations (things like big data) and then simply “give it” to the top IT companies for free, instead of starting up their own companies and selling the software and becoming seriously wealthy, and 2) in the same vein, it pretty much stops new software “bootstrap” startups from getting off the ground, thus helping to ensure the monopoly of the current software giants. The mantra is repeated endlessly that it’s “services” that you should sell, not software as a product. You’re supposed to write great software, GIVE IT AWAY, then get paid by the hour to help major companies implement and use your software. Only a “smart” person would fall for such a stupid ruse.

Even many professing Christians in the IT community and many other industries - are really servants of globalism but don’t realize it. This is because the doctrine of most Church denominitions had its direction changed a very long time ago and has been drifting towards globalism. Support of globalist organizations like UNICEF is an earmark, as is acceptance of all sorts of sins. Most Churches today are simply an arm of globalist organizations and foundations; some even have solid ties with CIA.

As far as the browser/web community goes, most browser organizations/companies are all cast from the mold.

I wonder if someone can confirm that those are real employees?

But it doesn’t really matter. It’s a California firm, it’s bound to have some gays working for it. That’s not the point.

The point is that as long as Eich hadn’t unfairly discriminated against someone at work, He is entitled to have his opinion and to support political causes. Whether Eich contributed to block legislation that would have watered down the definition of marriage, or contributed to a Chrisian church that preached homosexuality is a sin, or contributed to a conservative political group, none of those should have disqualified him.

Mozilla’s board apologized for appointing him, instead of issuing a statement supporting him. Consequently Mozilla is now viewed as anti-traditional marriage, pro-special rights for gays.

Opera is working well. It’s not crashing as much as Firefox was.

I’m interested in your post from a different angle: Where did you get your ping list? A script?
