For what seems like the third time this thread, Eich stepped down. He was not fired, he was not asked to leave by the board. He quit. This is not a trivial distinction and it smacks of dishonesty that you continue to repeat it.

But he did act on them. Eich didn't get people mad at him because he thought gay people were icky, he got people mad at him because he took action to strip away their rights.

And kindly can the personal attacks.
