There is a difference between “I resigned when I found out” and “I resigned after you found out”

@akareilly

Same as "I apologized when I realized what I did was wrong" vs. "I apologized when I got caught doing wrong"

@NJWookie @akareilly Or instead of apologizing, fake it with "I'm sorry you feel that way" or some such.

@akareilly
Also "I resigned, keeping all my privileges, because I have dirt on you so you won't sack me!".

@akareilly it's not a crime unless you're caught

[dalias@hachyderm.io]

@Maker_of_Things @akareilly If you let someone "resign" and keep privileges under these conditions, that should constitute a presumption of complicity and probable cause for investigation.

[njwookie@mindly.social]

@steltenpower @akareilly

The old "I'm sorry you're offended and it impacted my livelihood but I'm not really sorry I think that way"

[drwho@masto.hackers.town]

@akareilly May I quote you on that?

[drwho@masto.hackers.town]

@akareilly @NJWookie "I'm sorry I got caught."

[ehproque@neopaquita.es]

@dalias @Maker_of_Things @akareilly hopefully they're both investigated. A man can dream.

[akareilly@hachyderm.io]

@drwho Sure!

[janxdevil@sfba.social]

@akareilly Even larger difference between that and “I resigned after you found out and declined my offer to buy your silence about it.”
