Quite the opposite IMO, we let mob rule and convict in the court of public opinion too many times without due process. Forgiveness is left for those who tend to serve our specific needs.
What Adrian said to Bill was despicable and reprehensible. But mental illness is a serious issue and quite possibly if we as a society learned how to deal better with this we may well avoid a lot of Robin Williams (depression), Kanye West (narcissism), John Hinkley (delusional) and many others.
I am not a therapist or a doctor but it seems to me one of the basic tenets of most religions or spiritual practices is forgiveness. Just think if everyone of us was not given forgiveness or 2nd chances.
I am by no means politicking for Adrian's return and my earlier post was made more in jest. I am just of the opinion that forgiveness is a good thing in general practice.
