Though this thread seems to have taken a lighter turn I'll still throw my thoughts into the hat.

I myself have given a lot of thought to this. Before even realizing I was a Dom I rid myself of the habit of apologizing for things that don't need apologizing for (ex. holding up lines, snagging the last piece of chicken, getting tied up taking care of business and calling later than I said I would). Apologizing has turned from a sincere act of admission of guilt and seeking of forgiveness to some form of beta mannerism social etiquette thing, which is horseshit. I generally live a very unapologetic life. For me much of my life is a series of competitions and I don't apologize to the losers when I win nor do I expect an apology when I lose. That being said I'm also very empathic and I believe in doing well by my brothers and sisters with whom I share this earth. If I truly wrong someone I sincerely apologize. If I wrong my fuckdoll I will certainly apologize. But If, for instance, I make what I feel is the right decision at the time and it doesn't turn out, I won't apologize for acting on the best intentions with all the information that was available to me at the time.

I understand what you're saying, but even with the best of intentions, sometimes an apology is in order.
The rest of this isn't directed at you POU, but, Doms who are secure in who and what they are, have no problem apologizing if they feel they effed up.
It's part of draws me to mine...the fact that He *is* infallable, and *sometimes* doesn't mind admitting it.
Yeah, sometimes He does do the macho, "I didn't do anything wrong" thing, even when He knows He did...but...not usually. I guess I can deal with sometimes.
None of us are perfect.
