"with all due respect"
"And when you start to think about death, you start to think about what's after it. And then you start hoping there is a God. For me, it's a frightening thought to go nowhere".

I have always apologised with sincerity and unconditionally. Otherwise what's the point?
Ms Debaser, once trying to pre-empt and stop an apology from me, still got one.
"My apologises. I was wrong."
If you can't apologise, be open and sincere and mean it, without quantifying it, then it's meaniless. Don't even bother.

*shudder* oooh, that's never a good one...James Blast wrote:"with all due respect"
Better than no apology at all... or one that's just the word "sorry" tripping out of someone's mouth even though they're not...
...maybe . Or maybe it's all pretty s**t and the only solution is alcohol, hitting things and listening to some very good music very loud .

Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.

There was a man sitting on the church wall outside where I work holding a sign that said "All you need is love" today

And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"

I always liked 'I'm sorry you feel that way'. Make it clear that someone's bad feeling is entirely their fault.
If you deliver it with enough chutzpah people think you've apologised and feel better, without me having to compromise towards people who don't necessarily deserve it.
Naturally, when I'm wrong ... I just apologise. When someone else is wrong I just can't be bothered ....

"In my humble opinion..." when the opinion is anything but humble.
The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

I've always though, "Hello. I'm Timsinister" sounded a bit like an apology.
