~”Which of course begs the question, when you slip up and say something dumb, how many times doe you have to keep apologizing for everyone in the world to believe you are sincere?”~
Every time it comes up. “I was wrong, I apologized for it, and I apologize again.” With answers like that, it’s not long before the issue atrophies.
I think this non-issue has already atrophied unless of course someone wants to “bring it up” again. ;-)
