Which means, we'll only apologize if you don't hold it against us, which means, it is a hollow apology, and a hollow apology is worst than no apology at all. <BR/>I don't know about everyone else but I am tired of having my intelligence insulted.<BR/><BR/>A real apology contains the four R's.<BR/><BR/>Recognition - knowing when an apology is in order.<BR/><BR/>Regret - responding with empathy.<BR/><BR/>Responsibility - owning up to what's happened.<BR/><BR/>Remedy - making it right.<BR/><BR/>Don't hold your breath for the last one.<BR/><BR/><BR/>AnonymouseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
