> [@Crafter\_Man](#): > > **Shagnasty** has apologized. He appears sincere, yet some Dopers continue to bash him. This implies he is apologizing in an incorrect manner. So I ask this question: when a Doper apologizes for previous misconduct, how _should_ it be done? 😕 I agree with **TroutMan** in that Shag is apologizing for the way he said something and not for his beliefs. Here’s an example : > [@Shagnasty is a misogynistic prick](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/shagnasty-is-a-misogynistic-prick/801661/1326): > > Yes. Almost all women are whores and they have their price. Then again, so do I. It is just about the negotiations process to come to terms. That quote is consistent with everything he has ever said about women. In his OP in this thread, he says "Everything I have ever said is true but it was presented in an inflammatory way that I deeply regret. " How do you interpret that? Was call all women whores an “inflammatory way of expression” or “is true” e.g., his internal belief? If he still believes that all women are whores, then I’m not particularly interested in hearing a apology for how his expressed this opinion. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-want-to-give-a-formal-apology-to-the-sdmb/846200)._
