I think I've read everything he's written that's been posted here or on EPO, and I've got to know his voice.

This is a different voice. It might well be the same person, but there's something very different happening behind his eyes and it ain't humble and sincere apology. The words say one thing, but to my ear the tone says something else.

His refusal to retract his previous writings may be the only atom of defiance the lawyers have left open to him.

This is definitely the confession of a man with a gun to his head. I think we'll get the details within about two years. Mac will be back. There may even be a further reckoning.
