Second chances for people are great. And the way to get a second chance is to to follow a simple three-step process:

1. Admit guilt.

2. Express remorse.

3. Make amends.

So far, he's not reached step 1, he's still in step 0, which is deny everything and threaten everyone around you with lawsuits. That's not quite asking for a second chance.

Fine. But who came up with these rules? And why does Ackman have to comply?

Who came up with second chances? You have a receipt for it?

He doesn't have to do anything, but nobody has to extend him an olive branch, either.
