Here's Bobby Walker's "apology":

"There is no excuse for the language and tone in messages attributed to me. The language is wrong and hurtful, and I sincerely apologize. This has been a painful lesson about judgment and trust, and I am committed to moving forward with greater care, respect, and accountability in everything I say and do."

Absolutely reeks of chatGPT.

messages attributed to me

Weird phrasing when you're admitting fault for being racist AF in the next sentence.

It's designed to add just a sprinkle of doubt in the authenticity of the messages. Prick.

This has been a painful lesson about judgment and trust (in who I let into my chat rooms), and I am committed to moving forward with greater care (about network security) , respect (for participant validation), and accountability in everything I say and do (to ensure it remains private).
