This post makes the _action_ sound like a mistake when in fact it seems that the _decision_ was a mistake (loosely defined).
The board made the decision and followed through with it (i.e. did not make a mistake) and now “regrets the mistake happened”. So not only are they not actually apologizing for their actions but they are not even taking any real responsibility for them.
Like someone slipped on a damn banana peel and fell on the “take over all projects” button. Sploops!
- benatkin 5y agoI think move in this case means the decision, not the literal migration of accounts. Or it means both. At the start it says "This change was a mistake", which makes me think that it could also be interchangeable with decision. Here I think it would fit best under "A change in strategy". https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/move#Noun https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/move#Noun I think decision is a better word for this, but it mostly gets the point across.

- unethical_ban 5y agoI think they are taking responsibility. I think it takes effort to read it in a way in which they are not apologizing for the decision.
- sbergot 5y agoAt this point taking responsibility would mean changing the board members. There is no way the .net foundation can have any trust with those members. I am not sure that the .net foundation can still be relevant for anything after this.

- ziml77 5y agoThat line on its own does read as if they didn't intend to move the project, but reading the entire post makes it clear that they consider the decision to be the mistake.
