Mozilla fired Eich over his private political opinions; they also run a lot of programmes with a very definite political slant. I wouldn't call them "evil" but as a conservative it's not a group that I'd like to support (but then neither is Google).

So you define evil as having a political slant while judging them based on the political slant you have?

That's not how evil works.

No, I explicitly said that I do not consider them evil. You're also misrepresenting the position of those that would consider them evil; they wouldn't be evil for "having a political slant", but because the specific political slant they have is evil (which again, is explicitly not my position).

EDIT: And also, they're arguably evil by virtue of, you know, firing someone over an inoccuous political position...

Hating a group of people is not innocuous.
