It's not an actual apology when you not only justify the bad behavior, but then go on to repeat the accusation.

"I'm sorry I slugged you but you made me really mad. I won't do it again if you don't" is wholesale failure.




I guess my question then is: assume for a second Amjad has a legitimate grievance that Riju copied repl.it. (I hoped my comment would show that this is at least not a completely outlandish claim.) In that hypothetical scenario:

Sure, Amjad should apologize, and he did. Shouldn't Radon apologize? Why is this a completely one-sided thing? Why is Radon allowed to be like, I don't think I did anything wrong, and I'm disappointed by Amjad's behavior, but Amjad isn't? In this hypothetical, they both did something wrong, shouldn't there be a mutual apology?


One person made a quick hobby project, one person bullied with potentially ruinous threats.

Not complicated, really.
