You're giving him a B+ for an apology that doesn't even state what he did?
Yes, because I'm comparing it with the apologies we usually see.
That's a hell of a curve he gets to take advantage of, but also, even Harvey Weinstein did better than this.
I did t read his, so have graded it yet.
Sorry to say this but people like you who do not understand the gravity of the crime or the appropriate way to address it are part of the problem.
It is ironical that the same kind of people think they are in any position to grade an apology relevant to this matter.
A good apology doesn't have to be "several pages long." A good apology could have been shorter than the bad apology he gave.
For example, he could have said this:
"I apologize for repeatedly sexually assaulting women at conferences, including Quinn Norton. Over the years, I've done this more times than I can count. What I did was is illegal, and rightfully so, because everyone has the right to be safe, and to decide who is allowed to touch their own body. I'll never sexually harass or assault anyone again. Most of the time I did this, I was drunk or high; I went sober over two years ago. I'm also seeing a therapist to help set me straight."
That good apology would have been half the length of the bad apology he actually gave.
Yeah, a good apology should be several pages long but this was pretty good and well above some of the others we've seen.
'I am sorry that you felt abused and that your friends encouraged you to humiliate yourself in public...'
So, yeah, it's pretty good compared to some of them.
