If an IT professional (biting my tongue) was wanting to be helpful, they might note one can always allow a temporary exception, as an expired certificate is pretty bloody trivial and probably not an attempt by an evil IT guy from KAOS to take over someone’s website.

It’s apparent he’s a victim ( the ousted CEO) of that leaked donor list of Prop 8 to the pro gay gang. I don’t think the guy bragged about it.
” Someone” pointed out,, “it’s a private Co.” .. It sure is. It’s also done a fine job of running off users of it’s “product”. ( Yup,, smart move.)

Just another shining example of how radical Leftyism operates. If you fire a person for supporting anything “gay”,, count on winding up in court for civil rights violations. Yet it’s fine to fire someone who supports opposite views.

This Modzilla thing is absurd. Somebody donated a grand (1,000 dollars American) to Prop 8 6 years ago and he is fired today. Think the CEO as an individual can donate to whomever he pleases and we should all celebrate free speech. But, noooooooo. I understand that no company likes negative press and all and no individual enjoys a tarnished reputation. There is a difference between free speech and commercial speech. The intolerant Lefties are staying their course of silencing anything and everything that they simply do not agree with.
Funny (as Mr. Walt and Mr. Tood would say) that the Lefties welcomed former Klansman Robert White Sheet Byrd back into the fold. No prob with Bob. And he was not just a Klansman. He was the local tribe’s revered Leader of the Pack. Then Trent Lott says some niceties to Storm Thurman on Senator Thurman’s 100th birthday, and Lott is shown the door. Both Thurman and Byrd long since apologized for their segregationists’ views, albeit Senator Thurman never took it the extreme like White Sheet Grand Conehead Bobby Byrd did. And Strom did not continue to drop the N word until his death like the Libs beloved former Klansman did. You could count the days between Byrd dropping the N word of 2 hands. Say it isn’t so, lol. Could it be politics rather than idealism? Them Libs are extreme to say the least. They are too extreme for America in our post racial era.

Firefox users…
Mozilla recently forced its CEO, Brendan Eich, to resign over his personal support for traditional marriage. The firing followed a vicious smear campaign against Eich by dating website OKCupid, in which OKCupid blocked Mozilla users from visiting their website.
We would therefore prefer that our users not use Mozilla software to access our site, given Mozilla’s crackdown on political and religious positions held by millions of Americans.
We’re sorry for the inconvenience, but we feel that fighting discrimination and intolerance of this kind is worth some inconvenience today to avoid massive loss of freedom in the future.

Yes I suggest you all support Internet Explorer, a portion of whose profits go to fund the Gates Foundation the number one private funder of women’s health care initiatives including family planning in the world; or Safari, a company whose ownership supports gay rights; or Opera whose founder is currently working with a consortium of tech industry professionals on climate change initiatives; or Google Chrome, another company working to create tools to combat climate change and whose founders have become amongst the largest funders of climate science and adaption initiatives.
Seems in the real world you will not be able to win for losing.
For the record, I think it was ridiculous that the CEO of Mozilla was forced to step down due to his funding of an anti gay rights cause, but in the real world shareholders and customers often hold power over corporate decisions.
Mozilla Corporation depends upon a wide range of freelance coders and programmers working in an open source environment for their tools to be used. Live by the crowd; die by the crowd.

That’s fine Mr. stevenfrisch, but how come those who cry the loudest for fairness and tolerance and acceptance are the least likely to bestow it?
It is apparent that Gay Rights is now the trump card that squashes other individual rights. Framing the Firefox CEO as anti-gay is clever. He supported traditional marriage, as did our current President 6 years ago. Adding the business aspect into the mix does indeed cloud the waters. Consumers can do anything they want or boycott any business they choose. I do it all the time, but not for political reasons.
I don’t like Chrome cause I live and die by the toolbar. I don’t like IE cause it is too vulnerable and every hacker on the planet cut their teeth on IE going after Bill Gates, especially after he tried to crush Mozilla. Heck, he did crush Mozilla. Too bad Mozilla was not around to collect the 250 million legal settlement they won against IE’s unsavory tactics against Mozilla. By the time the verdict was reached, Mozilla was sold to someone else. Oh well.
I would rather cut a check to Firefox than Bill Gates any day of the week. Not to make a point, just cause I prefer Firefox. I like Firefox and I switched to it one day when IE on my XP got corrupted and slow (again).
My point is that if the libs spent as much time trying to infringe on my 2nd Amendment Rights as they do on fixng the debt and economy, then we would be debt free and have an average GDP of 4-5% a year.
Nay, that wasn’t my point at all. Just a jab. My real point is if someone does not believe in God, don’t infringe on my right to believe in God. If someone believes in Gay Marriage, don’t infringe on others right to believe in the tradition definition of marriage.

Mr. stevenfrish. Of course I read your “this whole thing is bull pucky” concerning a 6 year old donation the first time around. I just don’t support IE cause I don’t. Had to use it at workie to access some secure sites, but my company has a mere 60,000 employees that cried out for us to use Firefox or Chrome instead. The Top Brass and all the techie types heard us loud and clear and now we can use Firefox or Chrome if we choose. But they just told me to turn in the laptop last week and passed out this weird thing call an I-Pad which uses Safari, go figure. All I want is my old XP back and you can keep the I-Pad and the I-phone with all those touchy feely screens. Or at least give me back a Windows 7. I am not a happy camper. My fingers are like meat hooks and fat and if you pound on the screen, it don’t respond well to rough housing.
Saw in the media pictures of my CEO gallivanting around with Bill Gates. Yuck! Guess we are still are using Microsoft technology in our products. Oh well. It could be worse. I did tell the big wigs to keep all their valuable employee recognition certificates they send me framed and keep all those gift cards and movie tickets and tickets to the A’s games and Monarch games and all the other crap they deliver to me and just give me back my old XP. It ain’t gonna happen.
I don’t need to be stroked constantly like the younger crop of co-workers. They be a different breed. They want recognition AND pay. They can’t believe it when I toss those plaques and awards and gift cards in the circular file. But, noooooo, I can’t have a laptop back.
I prefer Netscape anyway. I know, I know. I have to be adaptable in this changing world. And yes, I would like some cheese with this whine. You can keep the pat on the back crap that the younger workers need so desperately and just keep the paychecks coming.
Oh, BTW, this rant was not directed at Mr. stevenfrisch, just venting in general. Imagine typing all this on a touch screen. It would make my posts a lot shorter. 🙂

Who knows, maybe the board didn’t like the CEO’s politics and had been looking for an excuse to sack him.

“By the way unless I missed it it was your ‘guy’ who wrecked the economy in the first place, but good.” -Frisch
You missed it. The Government Sponsored Entities that flooded the world with bad paper were Democratic sacred cows, and the program that pushed them into writing home loans that could not be paid back under any known economic theory was a Clinton administration push. Not to mention that when the crash happened, we’d already had a Democratically controlled House and Senate in place for almost two years; it’s as much a Pelosi & Reid screwup as anyone else’s.
Personally, I’ll always remember Barney Frank’s assurances that Fannie and Freddie (he’d carried their water in the House for years) were great investments going forward, just a month before they caused the financial world to collapse for a time.

As we approaching the elections, the only thing that the Libs have in their playbook is the Koch Brothers. Harry Reid taking to the Senate Floor to demonize the Bros is beneath the dignity of the Chamber and degrades its Hallowed Halls, IMHO. Yes, the same Senate Majority leader who took to the Senate floor to say he heard from someone unnamed and never named that Mitt Romney is a tax cheat. Not exactly a good use of the Senate floor and time and not debating the merits of any bill or not as the Constitution laid out the role of the Senate.
Never heard of the evil Koch Bros until reading the old Union blog site. Koch and Fox News this, Koch Brothers that. Heck, even when the Koch Bros donate millions to cure cancer and funding/building museums, the libs still are out there protesting and going bonkers over issues they themselves feel are worthy causes. You can’t make this up.
Read several months ago that the Koch Bros are page one of the Dems playbook for the next election cycle. Harry Reid is merely attacking the two individuals on the Senate floor of all places as his role of gearing up for the upcoming elections. Yep, that is an issue they can campaign hard on and relentlessly. Some people never heard of George Soros or the Evil Twins.
Harry went so far on the Senate floor to use the Senate’s valuable time to say that all those stories about people now losing their cancer treatments and specialists are all made up lies funded by the Koch Bros. Its on tape. Later (on tape) he said he never said those stories of people in dire straights losing their cancer drugs or treatments were all made up just total fabricated vicious lies spread by the funding by….who else, the Koch Brothers.
First you create straw men. Then you make people scared shitless of the straw men. Then you attack the straw man and claim victory for saving us from impending calamity caused by…who else, but the Koch Brothers.
It saddens me that the once Hallowed Chambers of the Senate floor with its great debates from the likes of Daniel Webster and John C Calhoun is now just a place for the Senate Majority Leader to say he heard from someone that Romney is a tax cheat…..Saddens me greatly.
If the Koch Bros is all the Progressive have, then bring it on. It might work as planned. After all, if you donate money to a cause that the Libs don’t like, you will end up just another Madzilla ex-CEO with your reputation smeared forever. Or labeled a heartless billionaire who likes murdering people like Romney. Too bad. Romney is actually a very decent moral nice guy. God save us all.
