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. An unapologetic apology is not an apology
