I wasn’t defending terrible behavior, but I understand why it seemed that way.

Jeez man, Wil this is really REALLY sad. Regardless of the political side (which I am heartily in agreement with) you have to stop apologizing for every minor mistake. You seem like a decent gent and I want to like you, but this kind of pandering cowardice is really unbecoming. You made a very benign and honestly completely fine statement about Hillary’s supporters throwing around accusations, which is perfectly okay.

Are you THAT terrified of the backlash that something you said may, possibly, to someone somewhere at some point in time have caused some slight offense that you would fall to your knees and beg forgiveness? Dont apologize for being white, dont apologize for being a guy. Apologizing for something that is fundamentally unchangeable about you is messed up, and if the crowd you hang out with expects it then you honestly should probably ditch them.

Anyway just try and man up a bit (gendered language, yeah blah blah blah) you cant just cave to every pansy on the internet who claims you’ve offended their delicate sensibilities or you’ll never be allowed to have an opinion.
