That's an interesting angle to take. I suppose it's like when you're in an abusive relationship, and even though the abuser has all the power, he still needs for you to acknowledge his actions are acceptable. "I didn't mean to smack you in the face, it was just an accident, why don't you recognize it was an accident... you're so cruel to me!" Adams's tirade is so asinine it makes me think he should have never been allowed to have a platform on any level..
