In todays world there is no apology he could give that would make people happy.

People online are brutal. It's better not to engage at all.

This does not really matter, it is not about them. Also, even if that were his reasons, the choice of words is appalling.

Exactly. There is a huge difference between

>He wasn't interested in talking, either. He wanted to enjoy his retirement.

and

>He wasn't interested in talking, either but feels sorry for what happened.

He did not have to mention anything about “enjoying retirement.” He could have just said “no comment.”

So because of the internet people are no longer able to issue a short apology? How convenient.
