re: #396 CSUH2001

I live in the south and I have been given the “bless your heart” so that’s not my intent. You believe because I choose not to become a political activist against abortion I lack empathy. I truly am sorry that is what you believe. No offense intended in my “non apology”

No, I do not believe any such thing. I neither said nor implied such.

What I meant, and largely what I said, is that the phrase “sorry you feel that way” is a non-apology. That of the many non-apologies out there, it irritates me the most due to its misdirection and suppressive effect on counter-statements.
