Unless I'm mistaken, there was something like this just a couple of weeks ago. I'm going to repeat something that I said there.
If it was determined that you acted badly on a thread, which is your Master's right to do, it probably would have been more appropriate to apologize on the thread where the bad behavior was conducted. There isn't a reason to start a new thread for the apology. Personally, I don't think anyone is going to consider that a hijack if two people are already involved in a discussion that has gotten off course enough to warrant an apology in the first place. If you're concerned that the person won't see it, there's no reason you can't send the person a private email in addition to apologizing on the thread. That way, your bases are covered.
This isn't something that I would be punishing for. This (at least on the surface) appears to be a one time mistake. If you and your Master discussed it, he's probably already told you why he doesn't want you to do it again. It's a minor infraction and a small occurrence.
If it became a habit or something that discussing the matter with you didn't rectify, I'd probably see it a little differently. Maybe to the point of removing your time from the discussion boards for a day or two or set you to the task of writing an essay about how your behavior isn't appropriate, why, and what you are going to be doing in the future not to engage in it. Of course, not every Master is going to feel the way I do about it.
Thank you much for your input, very much respected. While my behavior online was one time occurrence the I very much learned my lesson for. My mouth has always caused trouble for me and have written many essays due to it
