Doing the right thing and then being abused as a result really, really sucks.
Now, if the other person is so petty that they take the apology as an opening to abuse you, they should not be taken seriously, at least not at the time of abuse.
If it would help you to pity them as they light into you, go ahead. I don't know that to go so far as to gloat that you're not that sort of git is healthy, but if you need it as a step in the right direction, take it.
(What I've been working on the past week or so, apparently, is not taking things personally when they're not about me. I ran about 75% on that, I think. I'd just like for there to not be another week that intense on that skill for a month or so.)
