It amazes me all of the time how people post something like that (or do something similar) and do not think it will cause a problem. If it is a 11 year old boy, I can understand. But an adult professor (or comedian) doing something like that...................... |

+1 and +1 to jon's two comments. It's unusual for an article about a specific comment to not reprint it or link to it. And that apology ... A fake apology doesn't help at all. It makes it worse. It's condescending and shows no remorse. It only serves to be another swipe against the other person. It's a passive-aggressive doubling down, IMO. Yeah, I have a pet peeve about fake apologies.
