1. Listen to the people telling you that you fucked up. I mean really listen. If you can't listen and see their point of view, you're the asshole.

2. Delete that shit. Don't keep a post up that causes damage. It just proves you're an asshole.

3. Apologise. Make it clear that you recognise you fucked up, and that you didn't just delete the post because you were publicly embarrassed. Otherwise you're still the asshole.

4. Do not defend your actions. You fucked up, own it. If you try to defend it, you're an asshole.

5. It's not that hard to recover from a fuck up. But if you try to hide from it, it has a habit of gaining a life of its own. Do not try and hide from your mistakes, otherwise, you're an asshole.

Remember, it's simple to do:
Listen. Accept. Delete. Apologise. And do it publicly so people know you mean it.
