Rabbi Rothstein's Non-Apology "Apology"

Rabbi Gidon Rothstein, who wrote the article promoting a boycott of the Siyum Hashas has written a couple of emails regarding his original column. These are two of the most non-apologetic apologies I've read in a while. (See, in particular, the second, more substantive letter). I would assume that he got in trouble with some of the machers at his school who must have given him heat and forced him to disassociate himself from them.

He doesn't really back off an inch. Not on his views about Daf Yomi and not on his views about the appropriateness of a boycott. I continue to be astonsihed by his arrogance.
