You never have to apologize about your feelings, if your feelings don't hurt anyone by being expressed.An acknowledgment expressing regret or asking pardon for a fault or offense.
I have many friends who think guns are the cause for the immorality of the United States. I beg to differ. They know my feelings. We are still friends.
If you inflict your feelings upon someone and they are offended, I will always apologize if I get caught in this trap I set for myself and never bring up that point again, whether it be on a simple web forum like this, or in the shop I own, on a musical gig, or at church. When I taught school my students would never accuse me of indicting someone with my feelings about them. I could get fired for that.
Never let your feelings get offended if you are not being insinuated. If you are insinuating someone of something, you owe everyone an apology.
