When no apology is needed

Your reaction based on personal experience and admittedly so is fine by me

I always ask myself, what if was exactly the same accusation, same alleged crime, same evidence, but instead of <name of well-known person of celebrity or influence>, it was me instead?

Depressingly often, in my estimation, I would be fired, divorced, and imprisoned, and yet the famous and powerful are believed and walk out scot-free

So if it's honest, not derogatory, and bashing nobody, no apology necessary

(If any of that is confusing, was responding to an OP I didn't think needed an apology as part of the post. Apparently it got squashed before I could finish. Consider this a plea to not exercise a hair-trigger response, please!)
