By not making a manipulative “apology” that tries to still put the blame on the victim and cast myself as the real victim.

Textbook abusive behavior.

Assume that the intern actually was in the wrong. Should you apologize for your behavior anyway?

I'm not saying that Radon was wrong or Amajad was right, by the way. I'm constructing a hypothetical about how one should respond if they really didn't do something wrong, because an apology seems inappropriate, and this comment seems like it's taking the assumption that Amajad is in the wrong without actually backing up that position.

Yes, the appropriateness Amjad's response does depend on the specifics of the situation and whether his behavior was bad. That is astutely observed.

The classic “I’m sorry you were offended”
