Mini-Review (click to view--possible spoilers)
Review: 2020.148 (A Word for Authors)
Pro: It quickly becomes clear that it’s not all apologies; the problem is only with insincere apologies. And, where feasible, the punishment matches the injury.
Con: I’m not really a fan of the trend of picking people’s apologies apart, so I didn’t particularly enjoy this.
