hello, brendan made the personal decision to step down from his role among all this ongoing frenzy and mischaracterization of him as a person and the mozilla community, in order to avert any further damage to mozilla and its [https://www.mozilla.org/mission/ mission to advance the open web] - so his intentions were just the opposite of what you are trying to achieve with a call for boycott. also see http://blog.gerv.net/2014/04/your-ire-is-misdirected/ since this forum is a place to provide technical support for mozilla products and such kind of discussions don't belong in here, i'm going to close this thread. (also refer to the [[Forum rules and guidelines]]) <br>please take any concerns you might have on the subject to the governance mailing list located at https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance instead.
