[srs discussion] OKCupid calling out firefox

http://www.theverge.com/2014/3/31/5568136/okcupid-asks-users-to-boycott-firefox-because-of-ceos-gay-rights
So, Okcupid dug up some info about a $1000 donation to an anti-gay movement by a firefox ceo. As expected, anyone who's using firefox will encounter a page that urges users to boycott firefox in a hateful manner toward the company.

So, what do you fine gentlemen think?

It sounds like okcupid is just trying to maintain relevancy. I mean, I wouldn't be friends with the guy if he was violently homophobic, but their reaction was totally disproportionate.

Haha, oh wow, they're really desperate for attention. Also now that I'm here I just want to say that Firefox is the best browser ever. What's your excuse for not using it as your main browser?

Super dumb and backwards decision. Anti-freedom. Even if he's against faggotry (I'm so pro faggotry), if he's a good developer/CEO and doesn't express socially political shit ON BEHALF OF MOZILLA, or THROUGH MOZILLA, then there's nothing wrong. Also, Mr Eich developed JavaScript, so they should get rid of that, following that train of thought.

He quit anyways. Damn it.
