Does anyone else feel the need to apologize and forgive before leaving R&S?

Question

I'm striving to become a more compassionate, kind and unconditionally loving person in my spiritual journey through this lifetime.  Of course, I'm far from perfect and I've certainly said some things I'm not proud of.  But I don't want to leave R&S behind with any unfinished business such as not apologizing to those I may have hurt with an unkind answer.  So I truly, sincerely and wholeheartedly apologize to anyone to whom I replied in an unkind, inconsiderate or disrespectful way.  I know I haven't been very active here since 2017, but I still see a lot of familiar names from years ago.
And to anyone who has hurt me in the past, I forgive you.  Unconditionally, wholeheartedly and completely.

R&S has always been a tough environment to put "do all things with kindness" into practice, so I felt the need to lay down any lingering conscience burdens and regrets related to this place before YA shuts down for the sake of my spiritual growth.

Nope.  I don't regret anything I've said.

I almost never roast anyone for their opinions, but when I do, it’s because they deserved it.

I've certainly said some things that I regret, and would like to take the opportunity to apologise to anybody I have offended. Offhand, I can't think of anything anybody has said to me that really requires forgiveness.

Sure. Sometimes I’ve been in prayer and said if I’ve ever made any mistakes evangelizing 
or was too gruff with Atheists at times, for forgiveness. You certainly have my forgiveness Michael. Please forgive me as well :-).

The few people I'm on bad terms with were either the literal neo-nazis posting that Hitler stuff, or trolls insulting users for their own ego. If there's anyone else I didn't know about, I'll apologize to them. But not the nazis. Never the nazis.

No, I haven't said anything I regret, and I don't take trolling personally.

The only times when I have ever felt bad is when I misread someone's intentions, and was excessively hard of them. And to those people I have made my Apologies when I could

But for the most part I stand on my actions, and take the blame or the credit, depending on who you are

Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption
I planned each chartered course
Each careful step along the byway
But more, much more than this
I did it my way

To me it would be just a little hypocritical to try an apologize "here at the end of all things"
