Am I the only one who is just as insulted by this 'apology' as I was by the orginal articles? Alex is implying that he did the net a favor by acting like a lobotomized cretin. He doesn't sound sorry, he is acting like it is OUR fault for being offended. I, for one, would like to see SOMEONE at ucla show enough maturity and intelligence to try to do something to improve the postings coming from that site. They certainly couldn't get worse. So far, all I've seen from ucla is pre-adolescent dribble, the kind of stuff I'd expect from a mongoloid third grader (My apologies to any mongoloid third graders who are insulted by this). hey folks, don't just say you're sorry, act like it. And don't try to make us feel guilty for your screwups, it just makes you look worse than you did before... it.
