I think it depends on whether or not you are operating in good faith and you think he foundation is too. It sounds to me like people are attributing bad faith to this whole misunderstanding.
It’s unfortunate that this has become our mode of conflict resolution: blog posts, public apologies that don’t grovel enough and a trivial issue that people have turned into a political football so they can run that shit into the end zone and spike the hell out of it.
Grievance culture is weak, and frankly, dishonorable.
