Apologies are like shit, you don't have to take them,and you don't have to give them either. You don't owe it to anybody to pay anything forward.
Don't take an apology, an apology doesnt change anything or anyone.
Apology by Solid Mantis October 28, 2020

Good acting 

Something a team from LA would do naturally, especially at a time they were more desperate than usual. They know Tampa Bay doesnt have the sizable film/TV/music/media/entertainment industry of LA, so they might think of a team from Tampa Bay as suckers for good acting.
Don't put it past a team from LA to resort to good acting at opportune times to try and discourage the other guys. Especially if they think they're smarter than a team that plays baseball out in the sticks.

Don't put it past a team from LA to use good acting at opportune times. Especially if they think they're smarter than a team that plays baseball out in the sticks.

Being told where your money is going, or even being shown paperwork isnt the same as knowing where your money is going, or being in control of where your money is going, or what it's being spent on. If it seems to make sense to be suspicious of where your money is really going, that's because it does make sense to be suspicious of where your money is going.
The people collecting money from people like dishonest tax collectors claimed to be a charity, and many charities that stole from people did have official names and were official organizations. That didnt make the people running them trustworthy people. Of course they were going to keep claiming to be trustworthy, it was to their advantage to do so, that was what kept them in business.

Someone who sees themself as a shark, and thinks that everyone else has to.
Nobody thought he/she was a shark, no matter how many times he/she tried to insist that he/she was a shark, they saw a dork when they looked at him/her. They saw the same kid that watched Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Barney the Purple Dinosaur and shit like that (Pokemon too) thinking that he/she had now turned the tables on the world and all the kids that once bullied him/her that he/she whined about.
