Punishment without the intent to forgive is just abuse.
If you aren't in a position to forgive someone, for instance, because you weren't the one harmed, then you aren't in a position to punish them, either.
You can't hold someone accountable if you are a stranger to them.
Twitter isn't really ready to have a conversation about the complicated nature of accountability.
Accountability is a healing process, it is a difficult and complicated process, it is a process that involves recognition, change, repair, as well as forgiveness. It is not something strangers can demand, and it does not involve interminable punishment.
Accountability, by its nature and mechanisms, is an active process stemming from the belief that anyone can change, that no one is beyond hope.
Relationships, abuse, forgiveness, and accountability are all deeply personal and deeply complicated.
