Real apologies don’t come with disclaimers!

Yeah, that whole post comes across as deflecting and minimizing the impact while admitting to obviously negligent actions which caused harm.
I apologize if this email was unwanted, but please remember you can always gain 3 inches by taking these pills. Click on the link above.
Funny how he wrote "First,..." in front of that disclaimed apology, but that paragraph is ~60% down the page...

Just noticed, the first word of the whole text is "First, ...". So, the apology is not even the actual first..
Also the posts are still up. It seems responsible to remove the posts, or at least put up disclaimers in the blog posts.
Exactly.
“If…. X then I’m sorry” is not an apology. It’s weasel-worded BS is what it is.
