Kickstarter Apology to Rachel Marone

My main thing with the whole affair, honestly, is that if an apology was expected, I find it odd that she posted it on a Saturday morning, a year after the actual event took place? It wasn't as though Kickstarter banned her on Friday -- this is a year later.

I still don't know that an apology was warranted, but that's just my opinion. If I were Kickstarter, I likely would have done the same thing. Regardless, I don't know the facts of the situation, and likely won't ever, so I'm just speculating on what I can see.

It's certainly good of Kickstarter to apologize, whether or not they thought it actually necessary, but I'm wondering if her account was reinstated. If so, I'm wondering when her account was reinstated.

From the HN site guidelines - the last sentence is important:

If you think something is spam or offtopic, flag it by going to its page and clicking on the "flag" link. (Not all users will see this; there is a karma threshold.) If you flag something, please don't also comment that you did.

The apology was issued on Saturday (same day). This post on Hacker News about the apology just happened to be posted today. How is issuing an apology same day "late"?

Why is it late, because PR people are expected to work on weekends?

Your definition of 'very late' and mine are perhaps at odds.

The complaint was voiced on Saturday, an apology was issued on Monday.

Edit: As mysequel points out, that was actually issued same-day -- I just didn't notice it until much later.
