I just wanted an overall consensus of what people here thought of forgiveness. Say if you and a friend had a fallout, and a year later the friend acts you to forgive him or vice versa? Say if you missed a relatives wedding, and you ask them for forgiveness? Or if you were mean to a person years ago and ask for their forgiveness, what would you say?
I have always been a forgiving person. I try to forgive whenever possible, unless the individual does it so many times it sounds like a broken record (but that is the exception to the rules, and rarely ever happens). One pet peeve of mine is when two people are at odds,and one tries to admit their mistakes, only to be shunned.
Should people be forgiven if they are sincere in their efforts?

I am sorry but I can not forgive this. Lol aside from that the above poster is correct life is too short to worry about this kind of stuff, holding grudges hurts you more than its the other party.

If a person is sincere in trying to make amends, I think they deserve a second chance. Third chances and beyond, not so much.

Ok...I'll bite.
This seems like a good time to apologize for my departure. I was once a regular member, and there may have been a couple of people I had antagonized before I left. For that, I apologize. I feel really bad about it, since I had posted for years, and hopefully anyone I upset on this forum can forgive me.
Anyway, we have the Jets back, and that is all that matters to me.

J_Zilla... I was off of here for quite some time, work, family (5 kids), 1 cross continent move then a trans-atlantic move, mixed with mild frustration at overly sensitive members and a touch (at times) of over moderation. Don't know what happened, but I always liked you, and never knew why you disappeared. Anyway, welcome back! (Despite your phallic user name... )

You wrote some pretty nasty Go Jets Go about Alex, and went so far as posting pictures, he is the one that should determine if you are back or not, he is the one you should be apologizing to, not the rest of the board

It's up to Alex, and hopefully we can't settle our differences.
