@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

@Tippareth i'm just saying this is evidence of the cultural taboo against forgiveness. it sounds like your argument is actually: "this taboo is good" which is sort of built into taboos — PolitiTweet.org
