At best it's a mindless distraction. Get over yourself.

If conversation, exchange of ideas and opinions has no value to you, then yes, that is truly mindless.

I also think that the longer angry feelings on the part of people here continue to be expressed (however justified their anger and hurt might be) the less likely it will happen in response soon. Given time, I would hope to see Meat return, perhaps even say something in response .. but while this rages on? I really doubt it. We can make it easier or more hard ..

If Meat had wanted an apology to be well-taken and to be easy for himself, he would have offered one soon after his initial comments.
If he chooses to apologise I'd like to think it will be because he realises he was out of line and has caused a lot of upset and offense.
I don't think it's the responsibility of the people he offended to make things easier for him. He is, after all, the one who is seemingly content to greatly upset people, tell them to go to hell, tell them to go ~~~~ themselves, and then leave.
Yes, I'd find it hard to walk back into that room too - and I don't see why it shouldn't be either. Apologising always takes character and humility. I don't think anyone is trying to deliberately make it harder, however. In fact, I'd guess that most people have given up on the idea of any kind of apology being made and I'm inclined to feel the same. Those who have been hurt, he has left to be hurt. That's what disappoints me, personally.
