One person that didn't think twice was PUP Belize City Councilor Albert Vaughan. Last night Vaughan posted an apology to a UDP politician on his Facebook page. 

It reads that on the 24th of December 2018 he made comments about UDP Standard Bearer Orson Elrington regarding the use of the park in Belama Phase 1 for an event. The post does not mention what allegations he made but it does say that the statements he made on that post were false. As a consequence he apologized for any harm those statements may have caused. He ended by saying he will refrain from doing so in the future. 

Now, this wasn't any act of goodwill on his part. His hand was forced by Orson Elrington's attorneys, Barrow and Company who served him with a notice to sue for defamation. And instead of taking his chances like Sulph, Vaughan wisely apologized and avoided court action.

And while last night's post coincides with the news of Sulph's costly error, we are are told that Vaughan had agreed to the apology before the news broke.
