I was interested in your comparison in #1, wrt &quot;HN community overreacted&quot;.<p>I&#x27;ve been searching through old HN stories about Eich, but can&#x27;t seem to find any where the comments generally supported firing him due to supporting Prop 8 (banning gay marriage).<p>Is there a particular thread you had in mind? Or are you stating the overreaction was being angry that he might have been fired over that support?
