Steve Klabnik: "I find it incredibly hard not to be judgmental. I'm not sure what part of my personality makes this happen, but even when I try to curb tearing down other people, I end up doing it anyway. I'm not sure if it's just me, but I think part of the problem is that these kinds of things are rewarded." http://blog.steveklabnik.com/posts/2010-09-24-trolling-is-a-art http://blog.steveklabnik.com/posts/2010-09-24-trolling-is-a-...

Textbook weasel apology.

  I don't think textbook weasel apologies are usually done several years in advance.

    And it's still a weasel apology
    - lengarvey 14y ago
      Generally a weasel apology would be: "I'm sorry If I made someone feel bad" Not "I am sorry. I feel terrible that I made someone else feel terrible." Corey's apology did feel nicer, but I don't think that Steve's was a bad apology.

        In his "apology", Steve says three times that he was "accidentally" an asshole. That doesn't sound very sincere.

        He also talks more about his feelings than the person he's apologizing to!

    From that post: > Twitter makes it so hard not to accidentally be an asshole. No, I'm pretty sure being an asshole makes it so hard not to accidentally be an asshole. Plenty of people, including Heather, weren't assholes on Twitter.

"I am too cowardly/lazy to actually treat people with any sort of respect, and really I never matured out of kindergarten bully tactics" Am I wrong for interpreting it this way?
