Many of the people who run Mozilla willfully conflate speech with anti-progressive political or social implications as harassment. This is why I am concerned about speech censorship politics with the explicit goal of reducing harassment. I don’t want contributors or potential contributors to open-source projects to worry that if they say things they believe to be accurate about systematic gender differences between men and women like Damore did (or any other topic with anti-progressive political implications), they will be barred from participation in the project on the ostensible grounds of harassing women.
Because James Damore had established himself as one who is dedicated to creating unsafe spaces for others who also might want to contribute, like women.

Brendan Eich, not Brandon.
If you’re going to ask problematic and incendiary questions at least get the names right.
You continue to willfully conflate harassment with protected speech; nothing you say is said in good faith or has any value.

Thanks for taking the time to clarify your position.
I think your fears are wildly overblown.
I don’t speak for Mozilla, but in this hypothetical situation I’m assuming that if their contributions were valuable, why not?
This is a hypothetical based on another hypothetical.

I see your point. I failed to take other contributor’s probable and understandable reactions into account.
