If I spent the rest of today crafting a ten-page-long elaborate "apology" for every apostate evangelist I have ever "offended," I guaran-damn-tee you that tomorrow morning, business as usual would resume, and a brand new "Crucify Schryver" thread would be inaugurated by someone here.
You don't need to write ten pages, Will. Three simple words will do the trick.
But are you really saying you should not apologize for bad behavior because you are certain your apology will not be accepted?
Isn't an apology for bad behavior important regardless of how it is received?
And I think you are grievously misjudging the vast majority of posters on this board in how you predict your apology would be received.

Here you reveal a good deal about your inner workings, Will. The only reason people would find fault with your bad behavior is not because of the bad behavior itself, but because they are apostates.
Hence, anybody who calls you on your bad behavior is automatically an apostate.
Present company included.
It also relieves you of the difficulty of confronting your bad behavior and apologizing for it.
I honestly hope that by showing you your flawed thinking, you will begin to understand
how it is flawed and begin to make changes toward a more Christian course of conduct.
All the Best!
