@kfgpnz right the readers will say "you're excusing offense x" or "wow nice to see you justifying offense x" or the more insidious "excuse me, why aren't you sympathizing with the *victims* of x" — PolitiTweet.org

@Tippareth it always takes the form of "why are you forgiving xyz when you should be forgiving abc" such that the conversation is instantly derailed and the difficult practice of forgiveness is never really broached. it instead becomes a conversation about guilt/innocence, as i said — PolitiTweet.org
