What if it came out that an executive at some company had donated money to the Republican Party?
Then... people would be free to boycott them? The company would be free to decide, like Mozilla did, whether it's worth keeping that executive on?
I agree that the OKCupid thing was a little distasteful, but that's mostly because it was so blatantly a ploy to get themselves some of the press surrounding the situation. I still wouldn't want to enact any policy that would ban them from doing so, however.

At what point will people understand that someone saying "You should not do this thing" DOES NOT mean "This thing you do should be banned"?
