That is so odd. You would think that an email sent at 6 am would get more people than one sent at 8:30 am, because it gets the news-at-the-desk people and the early-riser, news-during-breakfast people. Of course, one…
SJWs are a tiny, insane minority. You neither represent, nor speak for the community. You certainly do not speak for me.
Needs more Bittorrent.
2048 isn't a clone, it's a snowclone.
And Threes is free riding on the work done to design the classical number sliding puzzle, Objective C, the iPhone, and tons of other inventions. We all build upon others' work. As long as we do so legally, there is no…

Trying to get someone fired because you disagree with their political stance is both intolerant and bigoted. It is political oppression.
Actually, the Founding Fathers were pretty big on anonymous free speech. Remember the Federalist Papers.
Not a significant threat. I think the developer community can easily weather the loss of a couple of percent of its ranks.
The former does not follow from the latter.
Every stance affects someone's life or other, in some way or other. You're trying to get this man fired. That affects his life in a very negative way. You don't seem to care much about it.
It would still be illegal to fire someone over their political affiliation, even one that invokes Godwin's Law and automagically loses the parent the argument anyway.
That is not true for the vast majority of people. The vast majority of people are not flip-floppers.
That is not the Nazi Party though, is it?
If a Republican wanted to work for a Democrat, and if he were denied employment for that reason alone, that would be illegal, yes.
Unless you can demonstrate that they acted in a hostile manner towards anyone, you can't fire someone over opinions or speech, no.
No, not always. I already gave the Ives counterexample re: the influence criterion. As for the pay criterion, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-dollar_salary
Why are you even wasting electrons typing this stuff? Unless you have a supporting argument or counterargument, you have no valid contribution.
Getting a sex change operation is a matter of choice, too.
There's absolutely no basis for defaming Brendan Eich like that.
Not much of a counterargument there.
Everybody has justifications for their bigotry. Talk to a KKK wizard sometime. I'm sure he has a compelling backstory, too. Doesn't change the fact that it's still bigotry.
They're discriminating against him on the basis of his political stance, trying to start up a witch hunt or mob against him, and trying to disenfranchise him of his employment. They're bigots, pure and simple, and so is…
That link is completely irrelevant. Social justice warriors are defined by the bigoted views they hold that they try to pass off as anti-bigotry, such as the view that men, white people and hetero people can't be…
Yes, you're trying to do exactly this. What's the endgame for this ridiculous charade? It's to get Brendan Eich fired. You're aiding and abetting it. Hence, you're trying to get him fired. Actions have consequences, and…
