Since I see that a notable VC-famous jerk is now telling us that he wish he'd "stood by" Eich way back, I'd like to tell you a true fact: Eich didn't lose the CEO's job for his (reprehensible) Prop-8 donation.

Everyone wants to believe that's true, because fits nicely into useful narratives a number of invested camps want to champion, whether it's somebody being ousted for reprehensible views or the woke SJW mob somehow pulling down a great leader (tm) but that's not what happened.

@mhoye @freddy Too much bile and obvious hate for this to read as a credible account

@nadim
It reads as perfectly credible to me. People are allowed to have negative reactions to bad experiences. Expecting them to conceal their legitimate feelings for some kind of faux-neutral performance may be to your tastes, but to me it diminishes trust.
