You tried to make amends by taking the initiative here but no sense making things worse so apologize once and if they wont accept it, then just walk away, and ignore that person til they cool off and then they are who is wrong now and owes you an apology

Answer 2

We are instructed to be kind and to teach or instruct with gentleness. But there are exceptional situations where we have to forget who is right and who is wrong and do what is good for all, like stepping away.
