Poll question: Would you apologize? |
|
Would you apologize for something you posted on DU because another DUer 'demands an apology'?

2. Sometimes even if I don't feel there was a reason |
|
I'll apologize anyway just to smooth things over. Depends on the situation.

5. Depends on what you did |
|
If it is something that can be viewed as an attack on someones beliefs or principals- then maybe. If you where just stating your opinion and they took offense then no.

6. I try (TRY) not to offend... |
|
and if I do it's more likely than not an unintended side-effect of whatever I'm saying. So I would go with #3..

7. I never apologize merely to smooth things over. |
|
If they convinced me I was wrong, I'll apologize.
If I don't feel i was wrong, but that I did state my message in too harsh or confrontational a manner, I will apologize for that, and restate wheat i meant to write.

Offending someone is the last thing I would ever want.

9. Are you at fault for something? |
|
If so, then apologize.
You don't have to apologize for disagreeing, only being disagreeable.

12. only if I did something wrong |
|
I find the demands for apologies really silly. Do people REALLY get offended from a message board?
