"Julie Pelloille @juliepelloille Replying to @gandi_net @andreaganduglia and 4 others

This post was disrespectful. It's not an excuse, but this is a stressful situation and the thread was getting heated. Either way, I truly regret posting it and it was my decision alone to do so. Please don't take this as representative of the high standard Gandi sets"

"That said, for the sake of transparency, we won't be deleting the tweet -- Julie"

I like that. Honest mistake. Simple, truthful apology. Transparency for the record. Julie's one of the good guys.

Whatever the context / stakes (doesn't change anything in this case), this is how people should behave in life (not just online).

So what. Just because you send a retraction doesn't justify it or make the apology any better. That sounds like they allow some people too much freedom as if they ran this business in their parents garage.
