My friend told me to never apologize online, and it saved my job

When a 10 year old tweet of mine got dug up, my buddy Mark said to just ignore it and not feed the fire. I was ready to post a long apology, but he was right. The whole thing blew over in about 48 hours because I didn't give it oxygen. Has anyone else had a situation where staying quiet was the best move?

Yeah, my apology drafts folder is basically a fire hazard.

Honestly, I've started just deleting mine unsent. It's the only way to stop the cycle.
