My assessment of a valid apology: 1. Recognition of the specific nature and instance of wrong doing. 2. Sincere expression of remorse for item #1. 3. Conscious determination to remedy to the best of one's ability item number 1. This has a small bearing on whether or not the offending party and the offended party are reconciled. The two may decide to simply move on with out meeting the three criteria. All three criteria may be met while the offended party chooses to harbor bad feelings about the original circumstance. Some middle ground may be reached that allows both to live with the situation. Anything can be labeled "apology." That don't make it so. I am only wading in on this because you used my name to substantiate your claims.
