"Apologies take on the character of surrender and demands for them the nature of ultimatums."

"Rather than proving civil discourse is alive and well it may indicate it is rapidly coming to an end.
The Great War began with a demand for an apology by Austria and Hungary to Serbia, one that it could not possibly make. It was calculated to humiliate the Serbs, a fact which the diplomats calculated would have limited effect. They were wrong. The development of a crisis is never linear. It starts slow and imperceptibly gathers speed until all of a sudden, quite without anyone noticing it, it has spun out of control. -- Belmont Club サ What Shall You Regret?
