“If this “experiment” personally harmed you, I apologize.” Real apologies don’t come with disclaimers!

Real apologies don’t come with disclaimers!
- mrandish 8mo agoYeah, that whole post comes across as deflecting and minimizing the impact while admitting to obviously negligent actions which caused harm.
- abirch 8mo agoI apologize if this email was unwanted, but please remember you can always gain 3 inches by taking these pills. Click on the link above.
- netsharc 8mo agoFunny how he wrote "First,..." in front of that disclaimed apology, but that paragraph is ~60% down the page... https://www.theguardian.com/science/2025/jun/29/learning-how-to-apologise-well-best-way-to-say-sorry https://www.theguardian.com/science/2025/jun/29/learning-how... Just noticed, the first word of the whole text is "First, ...". So, the apology is not even the actual first..
- bb88 8mo agoAlso the posts are still up. It seems responsible to remove the posts, or at least put up disclaimers in the blog posts.
- seanhunter 8mo agoExactly. “If…. X then I’m sorry” is not an apology. It’s weasel-worded BS is what it is.
