Oblogtuary, and a last word

Reuters, 9 May: Singaporean shuts blog, apologises after libel threat

I could not help but notice this glaring bit:

On Sunday he posted the new apology on his "Caustic Soda" blog, saying "I unreservedly apologise to A*STAR, its Chairman Mr. Philip Yeo, and its executive officers for the distress and embarrassment caused to them."

"They sent me an e-mail with these words," Chen Jiahao told Reuters on Monday by telephone from the United States, where he studies chemical physics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Unbelievable.

Rest in peace, caustic.soda. I'll be looking forward to AcidFlask's next blog.
