You should re-read what I wrote. I did not say apologizing would be wrong. I expressed my opinion on what would be an even better course of action.

  Yeah but I don't get it. How would ignoring the issue be a better apology? These people write code anyway, there is no way the victim could realize "ah, they are silently writing code, so they must be sorry". And the people following their example also wouldn't have that thought.

    The apology should have been a direct one, to her, outside the public lime (and lemon) light.

      I still don't see why a public apology is wrong, especially if the offending party is popular and sets an example for others.
