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.

    Okay, but what’s the bad part here? That’s just a very generic overview of how donating works.

      The bad part is four things:

      • the op either deliberately or legitimately did not understand what was being said
      • the vast majority of the comments just read what the op wrote and not what was said
      • having this many comments out of whack with this many upvotes gives ammunition to the bigots
      • this is a tech forum ??

        What part of my post isn’t something he said
