149. Refusing to accept an apology is not treating somebody bad
It is exercising my rights.

If somebody murdered my wife and was on the gurney just about to get a needle in the arm was to apologize, I would proudly and loudly state, "I will not accept your apology you murderous bastard now take the punishment you deserve!"

Nobody is under any obligation to accept any apology. The existance of the apology indicates the one making the apology wronged the person or persons being apologized to. I do not have to forgive somebody for their wrongdoing.
