As someone who was recently referred to rather dismissively as a “grudge monger” (as in sort of “well, *you’re* one of *those* grudge mongers”), I appreciate very much your perfectly logical reasoning that a given grudg-ee has not changed any of the behavior that led to the grudge in the first place.
Every time I have decided to give things another try (this would happen only with grudges against fairly benign behavior to myself or others), I have regretted it and later find myself thinking, after something unpleasant happens as a result, “if I just hadn’t been so willing to give them a second chance.”
I don’t think I will ever get over the fact that people sent you photos or video of their sex toys. I don’t think I’d even show a friend or my sister (talk about it, sure). But these people just went ahead and sent the photos or video to someone they’ve never met *unsolicited*, wait “unsolicited” doesn’t even cut it because you explicitly said you didn’t want to see even ads of it… I… I am appalled. What is wrong with people my goodness.
