The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Forgiveness?

Let's it put it this way. Two of my favorite phrases are "Live for revenge" and "Never forget. Never forgive". This applies to major slights against me or the few people that I actually consider close to me. Minor stuff tends to get forgotten though.

What if you did something that upset someone and you apologized for it, would you want them to forgive you or continue to be angry at you for something you can't change?
DH, I'm just not the type of person that forgiveness comes easy to. It's nice that other people can forgive and if they forgive the stuff I have done that's great, but forgiveness has always been a challenge for me, no matter what the situation was.

I hope I'm making sense here...

I won't say that forgiveness comes easy for me but I am more likely to relent on a given argument than others might. If I believe that an apology is truly heartfelt and sincere then I'm willing to forgive and forget. I'm not saying that memories don't last (coz they do in some cases) but I'm not one to let the past drag me down. The past has happened and there's bugger all that can be done about it now. As long as one can learn from their mistakes and not make them again in the future. Again, of course, it depends on severity of case. In the most extreme case if I lost a friend or family to a murderer, forgiveness would not come so readily. But in generalised circumstances, I can forgive provided lessons are acknowledged and learned. Besides that, I'm too lazy to hold a grudge  :p

It really does depend on what I am forgiving. Sooner or later I always forgive and forget with some things it just takes me longer.
