  Okay, but what’s the bad part here? That’s just a very generic overview of how donating works.

    The bad part is four things:

    • the op either deliberately or legitimately did not understand what was being said
    • the vast majority of the comments just read what the op wrote and not what was said
    • having this many comments out of whack with this many upvotes gives ammunition to the bigots
    • this is a tech forum ??

      What part of my post isn’t something he said

  This put it in the lefties-only-no-righty-Irish-need-apply revolving-door personnel sector of NGOs

  Ok, so you say the donors are not all left, so why would a politically diverse set of donors result in Mozilla having “lefties-only” hiring practices? Reading comprehension requires some critical thinking.

  It seems Brendan Eich doesn’t understand that it’s a politcal diverse group that donated to Mozilla (as you do), given the next sentence. Someone with strong reading comprehension would understand logic of, but I’ll explain it to you. His statement is saying that Mozilla became a politically biased organization because of influence from those that donated to it.

  Though your strong reading comprehension may have resulted in you having a different interpretation of “lefties-only-no-righty-Irish-need-apply” to mean… well maybe explain what that means to us poor illiterate people that don’t possess your intellectual prowess, LOL.

  Also do you care to comment on your interpretation on the “glowies” remark? What does that word mean to you? What is Brendan Eich saying there? Something you agree with I guess.
