I didn't say it was a conspiracy. What makes you think I did? I said they were jerks and instead of apologizing they played the victim and mined for sympathy.

Mate, it's a turn of phrase: a more colourful expression of Hanlon's razor. Are you being deliberately obtuse?

They're not "mining for sympathy": they've clarified their position and taken responsibility for handling the situation poorly.

Maybe stop interpreting everything you read in the worst possible light?
