The manipulative and cruel dynamic Dane set in those messages is another layer of vile in that already disgusting conversation.
Given how abhorrent these messages are, Dane would've needed an unbelievably strong statement to somehow have any chance at all at saving his rep. That is how his statement intention seems to come across - self-serving and wanting to save his himself.
In his vague statement it appears he is only interested in himself and his supposed commitment to growth and integrity - yet it does not include a real apology or acknowledgement of who he affected and how he could make amends.
Then, Jamie's post saying people should focus on who people are and not who they were...seemingly echoing Dane's statement sentiments. Imagine having been affected by Dane and reading that? Once again, the message appears to be aimed at saving Dane's reputation rather than an attempt at repair to those affected.
