Attacking a vulnerable group in the name of Mozilla is not just
"making a mistake". Gerv should have known better. No adult should
need to be told that it's not okay to use your employer's resources to
undermine other employees.

We can't just "do nothing more" because "doing nothing more" doesn't
repair the damage that has been done to Mozilla's reputation and to
the morale of a significant percentage of Mozilla contributors, who
have been told -- though the organizational and institutional
responses to the incident -- that our contributions just aren't valued
as much as those of heterosexual people.

Cheers,
Tim
