From that post:

> Twitter makes it so hard not to accidentally be an asshole.

No, I'm pretty sure being an asshole makes it so hard not to accidentally be an asshole. Plenty of people, including Heather, weren't assholes on Twitter.


And it's still a weasel apology


Generally a weasel apology would be:

"I'm sorry If I made someone feel bad"

Not

"I am sorry. I feel terrible that I made someone else feel terrible."

Corey's apology did feel nicer, but I don't think that Steve's was a bad apology.


In his "apology", Steve says three times that he was "accidentally" an asshole. That doesn't sound very sincere.


He also talks more about his feelings than the person he's apologizing to!
