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.
