It was nothing but an expression of my belief that Chris' excuses for his inappropriate behaviour were wholly inadequate.
This is not an isolated incident; it is a pattern of behaviour, and excuses do not cut it. Anything less than a wholesale acceptance of inappropriateness, retraction, and commitment not to repeat this kind of behaviour in future is insufficient. Unlike you, I have no power, only words to express my disappointment in you both.
