I think it depends.

For example, this guy was right to apologise - Alfie Barker apologises for taunting Harry Arter about his stillborn baby | Daily Mail Online

A non-league footballer apologised today for taunting a Premier League star over his stillborn baby on Twitter in a 'moment of madness'
Quote:
In yesterday's match, Arsenal came back from 3-0 down to draw level late on, so Mr Barker tweeted Arter directly and said: 'At least you didn't lose your kid'.

The footballer then added: 'Big hype just for a disappointment like the 9 months leading up to your childs (sic) birth.'

But today, an apologetic Mr Barker said he was ‘so sorry about what I have done’ and revealed his aunt had suffered two miscarriages in the last five years.
