> The most effective apology is often not as complicated as this. The crucial part is asking for forgiveness. I don't think I agree. The words, even when they come from someone you know, are just ultimately words. Those words need to be followed up by actions on the part of the person asking for forgiveness: making restitution, showing how this will never happen again. What I am saying is that 'I am sorry' is just code for hurry the fuck up and get over it. If you want to move ahead of mistakes, the blog's detailed way of looking at it is much better, IMO.
