Does that same reasoning of yours apply to JavaScript, given that person's involvement with its development? For example, do you disable JavaScript in whichever browser(s) you use? Do you avoid all desktop and mobile apps that may contain JavaScript code?

Does it also apply to Mozilla's offerings in general, given that person's significant involvement with the formation of that community, its organizations, and its software? Do you avoid Firefox, Thunderbird, and so forth?

Yes, the same reasoning is used whenever I have a choice. However, let's not pretend like choosing JS or NoJS is the same as choosing a browser. At least you have a small handful of browsers to choose from.

I mainly use NoScript and enable as needed for a select set of websites (banking, etc). I'm not a full on RMS, but I at least make choices that align with my thoughts and opinions, even when it's not convenient.

Is he throwing gays off of buildings, or does he hold a popular belief on marriage and procreation?

You'd have to ask him. He financially supported campaigns against it, so he's willing to put his money where his beliefs are. I have no idea how many gays he has tossed.
