An Update to Our Community and an Apology
I'm sorry you feel that way.

It seems like a correct observation to me. A nothing / false apology that seems to serve little other than to kick the hornet's nest.
I'm curious, how do you see it?

Ya...that was a joke. "I'm sorry you feel that way" is the classic apology-free use of the word "sorry". It means "I pity you for your plight" rather than "I recognize my mistake".
