Sample Comments
OK sorry, that was rash of me to say.
I agree, I was a bit flippant there, sorry.
Yeah, sorry about that. Thoughtless wording on my part.
I apologize if my tone seemed off.
You're right, I'm sorry. That was uncalled for.
Oops. OK thanks for the feedback! Didn't mean to come across like that...
That's fair. I apologize for my tone.
You're right, I was too quick to judge. Sorry.
Fair enough. My apologies for how that was conveyed.
My comment was a bit presumptuous then. Sincere apologies.
