>>That doesn't mean everybody else has to accept the same criteria for what
they think constitutes a valid apology. Agreed?

>>> At the risk of being accused of "intellecutal violence," no.


Gee. So what you're saying is that if I do something wrong to my wife and just say to her "honey, I'm sorry" without outlining all three of your requirements, she is forbidden by the Law of Jewel from accepting that as an apology, and is forbidden from forgiving me. And vice versa.

She'll be mighty surprised to learn that.

And I have to take back a number of acceptances of apologies which I have accepted here on SI which don't meet your criteria.

Okay.

PUBLIC NOTICE: To anyone who has ever apologized here on SI to me for a wrong they have done me, if your apology didn't meet the three Jewel criteria, you have never in fact apologized to me, and you owe me a full, complete apology. You know who you are. Now, get with the program.
