owned up to it and apologized.

I hate public apologies - especially when forced.

If you need to apologize to someone, do it on your own, do it in private, and do not make a public display of it.

If the person apologized to wants to make it public, so be it - do not comment on it.

Anything other than that is not an apology - it is merely reading the same script that promotes the need for more and more public 'apologies' - and these are not meant for anything other than political posturing.

I hate political posturing - that is what has got us in the trouble we are in. Anytime I see or hear of a public 'apology' I automatically picture the little cartoon 'mind bubble' over their heads when they are done which reads "Well - I got that shite over with."

If pressed, an offender should merely say - I have make my apology in private. It is none of your business what I said.
