Why is it that you apologists never actually apologize, but excuse away bad behavior.

You should be called excusists.

The word 'apologist' comes from the same Greek root as 'apology', apologein, meaning 'to defend'. Apology is now a synonym for saying sorry, but an apologist is a defender of a cause. Apologists typically don't apologise for being apologists, if you catch my drift!
