Why IHAG ought not be given a “Get Out Of Jail Free” card.
obstinate-questionings:
In the aftermath of Finn’s outing of Santana, the writers had four options:
A) Not to reconcile Finn and Santana.
B) To reconcile Finn and Santana with formal apologies.
C) To reconcile Finn and Santana, with uncertainty but without formal apologies.
D) To reconcile Finn and Santana wholeheartedly, without apologies or ambiguity.
It’s unlikely that it was an oversight on the part of the writers that they chose option (C) over option (B).
…
In this interpretation of the events of “I Kissed a Girl,” Finn does not apologize not because he does not feel remorse, but because the emotional tension between Santana and himself is too fraught to be resolved with words.

Read this post in its entirety, and felt the need to rebut.
I was unable to proceed with the logic of your argument the moment you implied that Finn felt remorse: “Finn does not apologize not because he does not feel remorse, but because…”
However, the multitude of evidence blatantly apparent throughout the entire episode completely and absolutely negates your argument in its entirety. There is not a SHRED of remorse, implied or otherwise, in Finn’s actions, expressions and/or words consequent to 3x06.
Instead, look at the arrogance with which he carried himself as he dictated to Santana what she should do (come out); his hamfisted attempts at sweetening the blackmail (“You’re awesome”); and the air of superiority he had about him as he took charge of her (forced) coming-out process, to name a few examples just off the top of my head.

Favour, por favor?
I feel so awful for asking anybody to re-watch the misogynistic, patronizing, lesbophobic agony that was “I Hugged A Girl/I Kissed A Ballot”, but I really do want to see the 1/1000th part of that episode which did not actually suck unwashed monkey balls.
Only problem is, I may just knee my own eyeballs out if I accidentally catch even a single glimpse of Fatty McGassypants’ constipation in action (pause: when is it ever not?) while he sings/smiles/frowns/breathes, which I have been sadly informed occurs far too often here. Not to mention the sudden plague of infantilism that strikes various Glee females of all ages and sizes with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer.
So… could somebody pretty please, with a candy cane on top, let me know the timestamps for the following scenes?
1. Abuela;
2. Anything to do with the election e.g. Kurtchel’s storyline, San’s ballot-kissing, ballotbox-stuffing, etc;
3. Britt winning (!);
4. SUGAR!! (I know these are more of glimpses lasting mere seconds, but pleeeeeaase???);
5. Hockey jock gettin’ pinned like a butterfly; and
6. San singin’.
I don’t know what I can offer that you couldn’t get better versions of on porntube, but you may certainly request and I’ll do my best to fulfil it!
Nope, instead there are absolutely, positively, unquestionably zero consequences for Finn outing Santana. Not a talking to from Kurt, his gay step-brother. Not a lecture from Burt, his super gay friendly step-dad. Not a dirty look from Rachel, his has-two-gay-dads girlfriend. Nope, just a gold star for essentially blackmailing Santana to come out or risk suspension from school. Isn’t he a stand-up guy? Hey, kids at home, out your friends and be a hero. Everyone’s doing it! Yay! Outings! YAYYYYY!
Dear John (er, I mean, Glee),
Have spent my Glee-watching hour writing this, instead. Am thinking ‘twas a much better use of time.
Two (2!!) whole weeks, I’ve been left to dangle gently in a state of mild catatonia over the pit of simmering anticipation that was the ending of Mash-Off.
Now, if there’s one thing Glee has (very) painfully taught me over the last two seasons, it is to Never. Expect.
