It's the same as hanging up a picture painted by Hitler.

You just don't unless you are a Nazi.

    That's just guilt by association with a Hitler comparison thrown in.

    Brendan Eich created JavaScript and donated to the campaign against same-sex marriage in California. Does using JavaScript mean you endorse that too?

    Of course not. Using someone's work isn't an endorsement of their politics.

    JavaScript is not a standalone product produced by a single company who’s leader is blogging about how “foreign vagrants should be sent back to where they came from”, my use of a web browser does not directly enrich Brendan Eich.
