Desperately seeking subtext

Anyone who has been part of this list for any significant amount of time 
knows that Robert Jackson is not going to apologize for anything.  He'll 
backpedal and convolute what was said by both himself and others, but he 
won't apologize.

The only *real* apology that he needs to make, frankly, is to Prof. Krafft, 
whose words he misrepresented to purport the so-called Melanie Jackson 
"denial."  Some may say his apology is a personal matter between himself and 
Krafft but, since the misrepresenting assertions were part of the public 
list, so too should be the apology.

As for whether he will give the list in general an apology for his years of 
snide insinuations, blatant attacks, labyrinthian backpedal logic and 
convoluted misrepresentations of what he and others have contended -- always 
in an effort to make himself sound like he was "right" all along -- now that 
his academic credibility has been thrown into question, well, I ain't 
bettin' money on an apology anytime soon.
