perhaps an actual Opinion on the meta, now that i've done some reading
an apology wherein someone acknowledges they sexually harassed someone, and that their status as moderator gave them the power to do so - or at least a big incentive for people to keep quiet about it and not challenge it - is incomplete unless it includes no longer having that power over other people, at least until they can show they have learned and changed.

somewhat ironically, someone not immediately stepping down in such a situation shows that they very much need to do so; a person who understands what they have done wrong and wishes for it to not happen again will immediately ensure that they do everything they can so the situation will not occur once more.
an apology standing as incomplete as that - and being glossed over - shows that it's not really much of an apology.
