RottenApple,

learn from Mr. Tsai's apology. This is how you do NOT do it.
First off, he didn't own the problem. He started talking about what a great guy he is.
Second, he didn't address the issue directly, he tried to restate his mistake.
Third, he started to apologize and own it.
Forth, he then attempted to blame someone else.
Fifth, he didn't address anyone that he might have hurt, ie the Advertisers.
Finally, he finishes with a mess of gee can't we all just get along?

That just tells me that he really DIDN'T believe he made a mistake.
Or that he doesn't know how to say he is sorry when he makes one.
Either way, the learning process will be painful, and I have no regrets that his outcome was that he is unemployed.
Statements like that need to be deal with immediately, and with full weight. There is no room for us to "give ground" to those that would take our rights away because "guns are scarwy."

Had he jumped out and said "RottenApple, boy I am sorry! What an ass I was for making such a stupid statement. I am so glad that y'all brought to my attention, what a silly, and detrimental thing that I said. I really blew it, and I hope that y'all can see past my error. I will strive to make sure our Rights as Gun Owners are never questioned negatively.
Please accept my apologies to our Readers, our Advertisers, and anyone that could be hurt by such a thoughtless paragraph of words. Stand with me as I work to right this wrong, and thank you once again to our great readership, that holds my feet to the fire when I make a mistake of this proportion!" Etc Etc.."

Nope. He leads off with "Golly, I am a Big 2A supporter, and really, this is what HK was telling me"

This once again points to my tag line:
"Life's hard. It's even harder when you are stupid."

Guarantee, the NEXT time he makes a mistake, he will own it, and fast.
