I'm not sure you read the same apology I just did.
> SK: i dont want people to think i'm saying "i got caught being an asshole so i'm saying sorry"
> SK: i want to say "I was accidentally being an asshole so i'm sorry"
> So, I'll just leave it at that. Twitter makes it so hard not to accidentally be an asshole.
He's admitting that he was "being an asshole" and is trying to empathize.
"I'm sorry you were offended" means being offended was your choice. "I made someone feel terrible" means I did something bad to that person.
I'm not familiar with the JS community or Steve Klabnik in particular, but that's a pretty straightforward and sincere apology.
