It's a tactic- his way of having something to respond with when people start asking questions. He will try to dismiss his critics by claiming that they're defendants in a criminal suit.
It’s the same tactic he uses/used with Dijana. He tries to force either an admission of wrongdoing or an apology as a means to dismiss everything that person says. Then he paints what he did as either equal to or usually lesser than the infraction committed against him.
It’s like a point system in his twisted mind. He pulled it all the time while he was here. He would bring up what you said in a previous thread against you in another one as proof positive you are not to be listened to.
His few apologies are always conditional:
He’s sorry, but…
- He is also owed an apology
- You or someone else did something worse
- People should go to these other parties and demand apologies
- He really thinks this doesn’t merit an apology and somehow he was forced into doing it or had altruistic reasons for doing it. But he’ll apologise anyway because he’s such a caring person.
- When he apologises it wipes his slate clean and nothing relating to that can ever be brought up again because of the apology. An apology from you doesn’t wipe your slate clean, in fact it magnifies what you did and he will keep reminding everyone of your infraction against him.
