There is NO honor whatsoever in clinging to a defense of the morally diseased position taken in the past and pretending it never happened.

Apology? Not a bit. It's called maturity and dignity, and taking a place in the world of adults, not sneaking, lying, treacherous well-dressed, slimy criminals.
