Some private discussion with Thomas made me understand why he felt
ill-at-ease with my email, and I do think it requires a clarification,
as I actually screwed up my phrasing.

I wrote

The second paragraph is misphrased. While it aims at reminding that some
people could believe that "apologies + explaination = no apology +
explaination", and could feel that such excuses are not sincere, I
personally do believe that this was not the case here and thus believe
that your apologies were sincere.

I'm sorry that my mistake may have led you to feel otherwise here.

With best regards,

It's far easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them.
