When private views become public, one should expect to be "judged" by others, especially when this person is explicitly enlisting the company he is working for in such a campaign and is a well-known field activist.

AFAICT he _had_ to tell what company he was working for. On that very moment, I'm curious to known what went through his mind. Was there any hesitation? Was he realizing he was bringing Mozilla into this debate?

My personal believes is that whether this was deliberate (bringing Mozilla explicitly) or not (being "forced" to list his employer), this was a really bad move you - as a board advisor or investor - will have to deal with and take public actions against.
