Of course people make mistakes, and as adults, they should know that there are consequences to making mistakes. A stock trader that bets on the wrong stock has to deal with the consequences of losing money. A murderer who shows remorse must still serve their sentence.
Similarly, a conspiracy theory peddler who popularizes false accusations needs to own up to the harm they caused. Alex Jones has harmed a lot of people in very serious ways.
"I'm sorry" is not enough.

- maeln 7y agoHyperbole don't bring anything to the discussion. The consequences was that he was ban from several services. There is also a defamation lawsuit against him. That is how it work in a lawful society. And whatever happen, yes mistake happen, and yes you can apologies. But nobody is obligated to forgive you.

- MockObject 7y ago> The consequences was that he was ban from several services. He made the claims in September 2014. He's being banned in May 2019. Such a gaping delay means this doesn't really qualify as a consequence.
