Wait a second, does the OP's reply in the comment section count as an apology that would resolve this yes?

Sorry for the slow response.

I wanted to clarify and apologise for some things here [...]:

[...] On reflection, I think that posting [...] was the wrong way to communicate with the community and a mistake. [...] I wish that I had said something on the Forum with more precision and nuance, and will try to be better at this in future.

[...] this was sloppy, and is something that we should have caught when drafting it. Sorry.

[...]

[...] I agree that if we had linked to that email it would have been clearer, and at the time I posted it I didn’t even consider that this might be ambiguous. Sorry.

@TheAllMemeingEye Good question, but I don't think this is a real apology for the statement, and it wasn't particularly public either.

@IsaacKing what do you mean by not being a real apology for the statement? As in you reckon they're lying? And isn't this equally public to the response itself? Just trying to understand the reasoning here

@TheAllMemeingEye It's apologizing for trivial details, not for the statement itself.

@IsaacKing right, thanks for clarifying

Seems extremely unlikely that they would apologise for condemning Nick Bostrom's past racism, the top comments complaining seem super pedantic and out of touch with the realities of PR
