I don’t think people realise that there are different kinds of "sorry"s. There’s a:
- Sorry, I am remorseful for my actions. Please forgive me
- I am sorry you are feeling what you are feeling (expressing sorrow on behalf of their position).
Anybody with common sense will be able to tell that if someone says, “sorry you lost your job”, they are not apologising for their actions. It’s ridiculous to insist that that’s an apology.
This “apology” that you are insisting on calling an apology when nowhere in that thread did I use the word, was actually the 2nd type of sorry. There is no hypocrisy here. The guy was feeling bad for being ganged up on so I expressed sorrow. I don’t think my following joke was in anyway bad.
It’s not my fault if people don’t understand simple english. I stick with my 2nd type sorrow for the guy and at the same time I stick with my joke and will not apologise for it. Simple.
PS: This is not a troll post. I’m 100% serious.
