At least give a straight apology without mealy-mouthed "if..."
- kragen 11y agoNormally I agree with this point, but in this case it seemed like the "if" might actually be correct: because the time from invitation to rescission was so short, it's entirely possible that the invitation caused Yarvin no inconvenience; that he had not yet, for example, bought plane tickets to St. Louis.
