If it was a sincere apology, I’d say yes. if they spread a rumour like that I was a murderer or something, maybe not.
No. That’s some schoolyard bullshit. Tolerate mistreatment, and you’ll risk normalizing it.
I wonder if it’s usefull if people think you don’t know that they know that you’re a murderer. When in fact, you’re not.
Be helpful in prison I’d reckon.
Did they pass on incorrect information believing it was correct? or Did they spread a rumor because they didn’t like you and they knew the info was incorrect?
Huge difference.
It happened to me at work and it was a very bad period. Even if it ended well for me, no forgiveness.
It depends on the situation - did the rumor cause serious damage to my close personal relationships, career, etc? Are they willing to take responsibility for lying? Did they spread a rumor because they themselves believed it was true or with the intention of causing me harm? Have they matured as a person and is the apology sincere? I’m a forgiving person so I would most likely accept the apology if it was genuine and not too harmful.
