"So which are which? For which is he expected to apologize?"

The point is that it is between the people involved. I could never know when your apology or CH's appology or anyones apology was meaningful or acceptable to the other party. But when people are genuinely sorry...they do know what they are sorry about because they are aware through empathy or anaylsis of something hurtful they have caused.

"He's been called a pervert and a sociopath, among other things. Is he supposed to apologize for that? Those aren't acts. I don't know how one apologizes for them."

As far as I know only one person has asked him for an apology. She knows what is required as does he. I don't know that anyone else needs an apology from CH. I have not heard of it.

An apology shows that one still values another and has respect for them and has some measure of goodwill as well as conscience.

If Christopher asked me for an apology I would consider if he was sincere, if he had been hurt, if I had felt justified in hurting him, if I valued a restoration of goodwill, and myriad other pertinent factors. In the end my decision would involve consequences for other relationships as well as my casual relationship with Christoper as a thread participant. Most importantly it would involve my value system and my sense of fairness and integrity. This is the primal reason we apologise...to heal the fractures of conscience and sensibility...
