Don't apologize. You said nothing wrong.
When you experience this the only thing that helps is understanding that it is nothing you did but a simple case of things not having worked.
- chiefalchemist 9y agoWhile I don't like his politics, I am a proponent of Frank Luntz's "It's not what you say, it's what they hear." I agree, on the surface my intent (from my POV) was not to offend. That said, I can see how my word / idea choice could have been better. The apology is to acknowledge that yes I could have done better and then even if I didn't mean to offend the receiver's does still have value. Human to human, I wanted to acknowledge that. Perhaps not very HN but I'm comfortable with that ;)
