Tonight I received a facebook reply from someone I had done something wrong to ten years ago. His letter included the phrase "I accept your apology with reservation."
I'm not really sure what this means?

Apology Accepted Meaning

It's tacky. They want two "paydays" and shouldn't have them. I think I'd just ignore the person and write them off as a lost cause; unless, of course, you need them in your life, in which case just accept it as an apology but be aware they plan to extract more vengeance from you in the future.

It means that he has not accepted your apology by heart. and feelings for you not changed.

Apology not accepted -- you must have really done him wrong!

It means 'I acknowledge that you apologized, but I'm still feeling resentful and I'd like you to grovel a bit."
More or less.

I don't accept your apology completely.

He accepted your apology but is skeptical if you meant it.

It means, I kind of forgive you but I think I'll stay resentful at you a while longer.
