Starting with an excuse for the behavior is not a good way to do an apology.

Starting with an excuse for the behavior is not a good way to do an apology.
- CharlesW 5y agoExcept that he does not start with that — he starts with an unequivocal apology. As someone with no skin in the game and who doesn't know these people, it sounds like he's trying to explain why he didn't realize sooner that he was such a raging asshole to Matthew. (I understand that Mattias apparently has a history of this kind of behavior that this apology does not address.)
- wpietri 5y agoI read it as justification, which is typical in half-assed apologies. If that were the only flaw, I might call it a reasonable mistake. But given the other issues (failure to look at pattern, failure to work toward preventing similar future issues, failure to make amends), I think that's too generous a reading. To me it looks like part of a pattern.
- qez 5y agoI think you read the blog post in the wrong order. The apology is on line 3.
- shkkmo 5y agoThe way the appology is set to the right does make it easy to accidentally skip past.
