In reply to Old Rockin' Dave. Also, sorry about the contact form. This may be the result of a WordPress update, and we need to investigate. Thank you.

You’re right — it’s all about him and his self-loathing — and his exciting new role!

Your contact form link is not working for me, so I’m posting this here.
Here is one of the worst apologies I think I’ve ever seen, not even considering the magnitude and catholicity of the offensive behavior.

In reply to Lis. Thanks, Lis! The Skepchick piece is great. (BTW, we also tackled those contrasting Avenger Apologies here.)

This post reminded me of Weird Al’s apology for using the word “spastic” in one of his songs. And while looking up the details, I came upon this article, with additional examples, both good and bad: http://skepchick.org/2015/04/so-youve-publicly-wrong-anatomy-of-a-good-apology/
