We need to stop this attitude. We need to stop the idea that someone should have to apologize for some radical idea. Apologies should not be an "I'm sorry things went wrong/people got offended." Apologies should be when a person sincerely feels like they have done something wrong, something I doubt any novel writer would ever do as they've spent a significant amount of time being able to determine if what they're doing is "wrong" to them.
