From the PR pros, when trying to turn around a public screw-up:
1. People want you to admit wrongdoing. Full-blown mea culpa is best.
2. People want to see that you are suffering over your mistake.
3. People want to see SINCERE remorse.
4. After a suitable period of the above, if you ask forgiveness, you just might get it.
That's all true. The "victim routine" doesn't work.
This is
not to say anything specifically re: Tito or this situation (I didn't really follow the whole thing that close in that thread so I'm not going to comment about it as that's not fair), I'm just commenting in general on Fu's post...
People who are vociferous about being victims are usually the ones who are incapable of taking responsibility for anything else in their lives which is partly why people don't feel sorry for them. I call them "eternal victims" and I rarely pay attention to it. "Blah blah the world is against me again and I don't deserve it."

Whatever. No one is infallible, so people who never ever seem to make any mistakes or are
always crying foul are full of shit. (again, that doesn't apply to Tito... I realize this is a first occurance so that is in no way directed at him)
