At the risk of being a pedantic dick-weed: if someone apologizes when no apology is necessary, then he has over-apologized, even it it's only a single occurrence. Perhaps Speakerphone Dude was not offended?
WTF difference does it make if he wasn't offended? Salamander wasn't even engaging in conversation with him before this pointless discussion took place, so his apology, warranted or not, wasn't even directed at speakerphone.

 The correct conclusion to this "discussion" is that everyone stops caring and starts playing video games or gets back to work.

If you get naked (except for cow-boy boots and a sombrero) and go for a walk downtown, anybody that crosses your path is entitled to tell you that you should put on more clothes, even if they were not individually targeted by your actions.
Of course if you are a girl this example does not work that well, unless you are ugly and/or have c-section scars and cellulite.

Good point, because the pretty girl has every right to apologize for walking down the street buckneckéd, even if nobody thought that her nudity was inappropriate. If she feels that an apology is appropriate, then it is, no matter how much everyone likes naked pretty ladies.
I personally think if one htinks one has been a douchebag in retrospect, there are very few better things to apologize for.

Apologizing and indecent exposure are equally bad to you, then?
I'm sure you're a scream at parties. Do you also go out of your way to point out whenever people wear white after Labor Day?

I'm all about compromise. I usually give people a day or two to adjust, because with the long weekend they may lose track of important stuff. However as a matter of principle if they wear WHITE SHOES then all bets are off. There are limits to poor taste and as a stakeholder in the Social Contract it is my duty to speak out when someone is behaving in such an unacceptable manner. If we keep quiet when people walk around in white shoes after Labor Day, then very quickly chaos will follow. It's like the broken window theory.
First they came with white shoes after Labor Day,
and I didn't speak out because I don't care about fashion.
Then they came naked to the office,
and I didn't speak out because I have big monitors and I don't see people that much.Then they came covered in the blood of their first-born,
and I didn't speak out because I don't have children myself.Then the entire civilization went down in flame
and there was nothing I could do.

Well, it's a small loss for me, then. I've participated in better debates on YouTube. In fact, SpectateSwamp's debate is probably the only one I've participated in that is more inane.

They hurt human dignity and everybody posting in that thread should feel ashamed of themselves. That is not a joke, it's seriously disgusting.

Also you both should let go of the Ancient World way of spelling, apologize is with Z, not S.
