I see now that there is a lot more to this than I was aware of. I replied to the posted article, and did not read all the way through before replying. I'll keep reading, and I would like to know more about this ...

On the face of it, anyone who is willing to say they were wrong in public has acted responsibly IN THAT ACTION. But thanks...

Same. I gave kudos for immediately taking public responsibility. I did NOT give kudos for being stupid enough....or gullible enough....or dishonest enough to get himself into the mess (or create the mess) in the first place.

Just keep reading. This isn't as simple as you first assumed and is NOT really all that good an apology, as his first one wasn't either.
