Why be sorry? It's an admission of guilt and weakness. Take a page out of Donald Trump's book - never be sorry for anything. You do what you do and the others can deal with it. That gets you the presidency in today's world, it seems. I don't even want to get political here but the US elections have shown me how you get ahead in life.

Do we really need another political flamewar here? I don't think we do.

As mentioned in the post, it wasn't about politics. Republican or democrat, it doesn't matter. It was about human psychology and how apologizing is a hinderance to getting ahead.

Sometimes it is necessary to have a strong example of what is wrong to be able to define what right is.

Most people on this forum are the type that can learn without touching the hot skillet for themselves, but we still benefit from helping others to not burn themselves.
