The only way to apologize is to show contrition. Anything else is only appealing to feelings and not to a change for a better future.
'Adds Ingall, “And send the staff through sensitivity training.”'
I'd like an apology for this; sensitivity training is not a better future. (I'd also like an apology for the smart quotes, but let's deal with one thing at a time!)
- adiusmus 8y agoI'd second that. "Sensitivity training" sounds very much like some kind of communist dictator's "re-education camp". The line is thin and oppressive.

- adiusmus 8y agoWell I wrote "sounds like", so the comment was sort of in jest. But now I've gotten negative feedback (-2 ?!) I'm thinking that sensitivity training is oppressive. Any criticism of such training appears to be vehemently opposed and I'm now not so sure such training should be seen as without agenda. So. No. Now I'm not joking. This appears to be an interesting discovery. What was seemingly a throwaway comment that should have passed unnoticed looks like it has revealed some form of censorship of anything even slightly critical (even a joke). Perhaps "Re-education camps" wasn't far off the mark.
- dj43nq 8y agoThe communist dictator part of your comment is probably the triggering element. A lot of SJWs can't handle anything critical. But this is getting off topic. And I'm sure we'd rather not need to apologise...
- telchar 8y agoI downvoted you for making a throwaway comment. I come to HN for substantive discussion, not throwaway snark. Please take that elsewhere in the future, there are plenty of other outlets.
