Suppose you say something offensive -- |

You are not attacked, however; but you know it was crass and inappropriate. Do people, in time forgive? Do they just outright forget? Or is it held against you for a long long time? This is about DU, but the question applies to real life as well.
Please let me know if you are holding a grudge on me for an idiotic comment I made a while (week or so) back. I am very sorry and need to limit my caffeine intake.

1. The appropriate thing to do |
|
is apologize.
That way, if someone is holding a grudge, they'll think better of you.
Personally, I don't hold onto grudges; but I'll find myself wary and less-inclined to be open with someone who's injured me verbally. Also, I tend to feel a diminished sense of respect for people who show lack of respect for others without apologizing.
And no, I'm not talking about you, m-jean03. :beer:

2. I trend to forgive & forget. |
|
I often find that the same person who really pissed me off in one thread supports what I say in another thread. I usually don't go on threads that I'm pretty sure will piss me off.
