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.

This kind of statement have way less impact when people already have 0 goodwill toward the one that says it.

The fact that he invented Javascript alone makes him a villain. Everything he did after that is just complementary.

At this point you are allowed to put "George Soros" in scare quotes too. It is a good time to be alive. /S
