34. Try not to argue against a strawman, Peace Patriot
"it's unfair to demand an apology and then question the sincerity of the apology"

When did I demand an apology? I never asked for an apology - I don't get some people's 'need' for an apology. What he said was what he said. The only explanation 'required' would be if he denied the quote, IMO. He didn't.

I happen to believe people are far more genuine when they are talking in normal conversation, than when they have a strong advantage in apologizing. I think Young was trying to salvage his reputation, and therefore I believe his apology was self-serving and phony.
