The do not post rule actually has so many ways around it that it is easy enough to apologize and to express an intent to honor the request.
The apology just has to be addressed to the board in general, or to Dr. Bob.
An example would be:
"I want to apologize to Dr. Bob (or to everyone) for xxxx. I'd like everyone to know that my reasons for doing so were yyyyy. But I have no intention of distressing anyone so in the future I will refrain from xxxx."
That's one thing civility buddies are very good for. I've offered to be Lar's civility buddy anytime he'd like. Or his any other kind of buddy for that matter. I'm always glad to hear from him.
