I know what you mean but I also agree with the OP to a certain extent. Sometimes, you've got a person who simply isn't going to accept your apology and no good will come of it. You may feel that it doesn't serve either party that one person is given an opportunity to lash out at the other. I dunno. It's subtle and depends on the situation.
