The IRS rules governing nonprofits still required the Mozilla Foundation to beg big to go big: the parent had to go find big grants from Soros, Ford, Knight, MacArthur, and give smaller grants to many. This put it in the lefties-only-no-righty-Irish-need-apply revolving-door personnel sector of NGOs and nonprofits (too many glowies there for me, too). Which meant I had a hostile MoFo over my head the minute I got CEO appointment from the MoCo board...

Of course I can't comment on anything about my exit, for reasons that only the most loopy HN h8ers still can't figure out.

What the fuck is it with the "Tech Friendly" companies going to shit?

They grew up getting their heads shoved into toilets, and are now eager to shove somebody else's head into the toilet. I'm in my mid-30s, and I absolutely remember the teachers turning a blind eye to a bunch of kids ganging up on me with sticks in middle school, only to get detention for hitting them back with the book of arthurian legends I was trying to read.

We basically got taught that bullying is a good thing the strong do to the weak, and it fucked up multiple generations.

Yeah and a lot of them are mad that they only got money and power while the other kids getting our asses kicked, the queer kids, got to be cool as adults instead. /hj

Like i got taught not to be effeminate quite violently. While teachers picked on me for being weird and smart. I guess I just can't give a shit about these people who love to make sob stories to justify their cruelty and bigotry. They can heal or get out of the way.
