    Such a backpedal. I don't know what I find more annoying, the fact that they were both immature children about it, or that he's not sticking up for himself.

    He could have handled it a lot better, but people have this idiotic idea that saying something out of anger or immaturity or whatever somehow invalidates their feelings. Dan was pissed that Chevy walked off the set? There's nothing wrong with that! Man up and take responsibility for your feelings, don't back off and make an excuse for them.

    If he really felt like he had done something wrong, then I wouldn't mind it, but he's clearly trying to appease the angry masses. People swallowing their words to make peace because they hurt someone's delicate little feelings makes me concerned for the entire concept of free speech. Think of what you're going to say ahead of time, and then say it and accept the consequences, don't wuss out and apologize for it later.

    I see this happen so often it drives me crazy.

    Well that's good, I suppose.  Someone had to be the bigger man about it, and the situation had the potential to give the entire show some really bad press.

    He apologises for airing the feud to everyone. But not for chanting "fuck you Chevy". Good enough.

    Well, the guy sure has a way with words. (He should, he's a writer). But this was not an apology: it was a mixture of self-defense and a plea to people to keep watching his show.

    I've seen a lot of interviews and personal stuff from Harmon, and this kind of self-deprecating apology definitely feels genuine to me. This is the type of thing Harmon does for an apology. He doesn't want to make it worse, and he acknowledges that he acted badly, and the best way he can think to make up for that is to call himself out, kick himself a bit, and try not to make the situation any worse by commenting on any aspect of it outside of himself (which is why he never mentions Chevy's name in the blog post, for example).

    This is definitely not just an appeasal. This is legitimately Harmon's way of apologizing and trying not to antagonize further for the time being. This isn't exactly new to him, so there's no reason to believe that he's not being genuine about this.

    I agree-- this does seem genuine to me too coming from Harmon.

    I find this fair enough and suited to how Harmon always comes across...even though we have had a glimpse into the feud-- we really don't know what the relations are between him and Chase. Should have he been more of the bigger man and ignore it or given a better apology? I guess so but really, we don't know him or Chase and so we don't really know what is the truth.
