"I don't want to live in a world where an apology for offense is not good enough - Do you?" ~ @ScottAdamsSayshttps://twitter.com/ScottAdamsSays/status/1001817219687268352 …

False right back at you. Apologies are effective if they contain the following: 1) A *clear* I'm sorry statement 2) An expression of regret 3) An acknowledgement that social expectations were violated 4) An empathy statement and 5) A request for forgiveness.

One of the most important parts of an effective apology, and left out of most twitter apologies, is an empathy statement. That's why you can't just post "I'm sorry" on twitter and expect actual forgiveness or expect it to mean anything.

That's 2002 thinking. Today we hold grudges forever, at least in terms of public offenses. Privately, perhaps different.
