I take back what I said about him not being sorry; I just had the chance to read this, and I think it's fair-ish. http://penny-arcade.com/2013/09/04/some-clari

I take back what I said about him not being sorry; I just had the chance to read this, and I think it's fair-ish. http://penny-arcade.com/2013/09/04/some-clarification http://penny-arcade.com/2013/09/04/some-clarification I think pulling the merchandise might not have been good for PA as such, but I think it was better for the PA brand overall and as a peace offering. It demonstrated some amount of respect and contrition, in a very tangible way.

This letter sums up the problems with this apology fairly well: http://makemeasammich.org/2013/09/05/dear-gabe-i-dont-hate-you-but-we-need-to-talk/ http://makemeasammich.org/2013/09/05/dear-gabe-i-dont-hate-y... It's hard to determine whether or not Krahulik wants to learn to be better. His apology says that the mistake was engagement, but really, the mistake was that when he found out he'd hurt people, his response was to rub it in. He doesn't seem to recognize that the problem wasn't that he produced a follow-up strip, but that the follow-up was deliberately hurtful. Maybe he's trying and he's just not there yet. Maybe he's just responding to the firestorm and doesn't really want to learn. I sure as hell can't tell the difference.
