"I have laid out multiple times my offer to apologize"

An offer to apologise is not an apology. Apologies are not negotiated..or conditional on the rain in Spain. They spring from an awareness of having personally hurt someone in a manner which one feels does not truly reflect his/her character.

Everybody is responsible for their assessment of their own behaviour independently of others. If you think a lot of the interactions with Poet were not your better side, then you would want to correct the impression that Poet and others took from the experience.

The value of your apology, both to Poet and (most importantly) to yourself, is neither advanced nor retarded by the actions of anyone else.
