People do this in real life, of course. And then the wronged party is demonized if they don’t forgive and “move on.” “They apologized! What more do you want?” Um, for starters a real apology
My response to a non-apology is to say, “I accept your apology in the spirit in which it was offered.” Then I move on…putting distance between me and that individual. I may also say, “I forgive…but I never forget!”

A non-apology. Perfect for this ‘evolution’ of our society.

You’re in REAL trouble if the middle name is used as well.
