Simple really. I normally only answer questions but every now and then I will ask one. I want to apologize to anyone I may have offended recently. It was probably accidental and totally unintentional on my behalf. Please accept my apology and forgive me.
I love each and every one on this site and do not want to have a guilty conscience at the end of the day. So for those who have been offended, I'm sorry.
I won't apologize for speaking the truth but I will for anything said out of line.

I've never been offended by you; I think you're apologizing because you're trying to "practice what you preach" -- the good ol' Golden Rule. You can never go wrong practicing that.
Regarding your remark: "I won't apologize for speaking the truth..." -- I think an old quote that is important to keep in mind is: "Speak Truth to Power."
It takes courage to speak the truth, especially when it may put oneself in a difficult situation.
"Forgive us our trespasses....." --- a very good practice!

I don't know how to take that. There is no specific act you are apologizing for, just the concern that you may have offended someone. I can only speak for myself, but I for one would rather hear an difficult truth than an friendly lie - and I don't think you have any need to apologize for being alive.

Whenever you offend anyone, weather you are right or wrong, you still offend them and that deserves an apology.
I admire that you can humble yourself enough to care for others feelings. Guilt is worthless. That only serves to bring you down. Do not feel guilty. Recognition of error and the attempt to fix by taking responsibility for your actions, is a lesson well learned. That is living consciously. Regret and guilt are two different things. You have not offended me but I appreciate your apology to others. It shows good character.

Don't apologize. There will always be someone offended, especially when confronted with truth. Stand for the truth at the risk of being hated....follow Christ despite the world.
Nice gesture on your part, though. We forgive because we have been forgiven.

I offend people on a daily basis. In fact, I offended someone about fifteen minutes ago. They sent me a hateful email. It doesn't bother me. I don't take any of this stuff seriously and you shouldn't either. Sometimes our emotions get the best of us and we lash out at our comrades. It happens. You should accept it and move on. Have a nice day.
