There was a lady who insulted me recently. She was very pushy and demanding and I lost my temper and made an extremely sarcastic, damning response. Though those familiar with the situation claim that I owe her no apology, I still want to apologize the next time I see her. Regardless of whether or not she was offensive, I should at least be able to control my own behavior.

Yes, I sometimes lose my temper and when I do, I regret what I've said/done. Regardless of whether or not you regret what you have said, a simple, sincere apology can still do wonders for keeping the peace -- and a gracious individual does not demand an apology or acknowledgement. I've a lot of respect for you and your abilities, so I hope you don't take this as a personal attack, but I do think an apology would be a nice thing. By asking that your insult be taken in the context of Dominus' comment, you forego the opportunity to be gracious.

Cheers,
Ovid
