That's uncalled for.
Regional variation in English? Translation: You make your decisions based on how
you feel about the situation at a point in time. "Mood" is used because there's
some subjectivity and "gut feel" involved in the decision. It's not intended to
be negative, it's simply a description of how any human makes any decision.
That's why I said the same about how a committee would make decisions.
As a native English speaker, telling someone they are making decisions based on
moods is telling them they are making irrational decisions.
I accept that you did not intend it in this manner, but you should be aware that
many people would be offended by it.
