Bob of earth - if you would reread my post - it was in reference to the quoted statement from Pro Graphics....who ended a line with "Forgiveness is soley at God's discretion."
This would intimate that he had some belief in God and that his understanding was that only God can forgive. I simply pointed out my understanding of what is taught in the Bible as man's responsibility for forgiveness.
You can choose to believe that or devise your own belief system - that is your option in how you express your free will. In any event...what you decide to believe doesn't change the reality of God's directive. My belief is that God's declaration for forgiveness supercedes man's need for revenge...but that's just me.
There is justice and then there is revenge - those are two different things.
I think it IS appropriate to interject religious conjecture into this topic because it's evidently upon these priinciples that Robert has taken the tact he has so aptly expressed. Reread Robert's posts - it's plainly stated that his religious convictions have guided him in his decision making regarding how he views the appropriate response to his employees indiscretions.
In any event...the bottom line is that regardless of who forgives who....it appears that Robert has decided to not pursue adjustments on pricing with his customers, has decided to give his employee a second chance with stipulations and reimbursement of lost funds, and has adjusted his internal tracking methods.
Seems to me it's a win-win situation for everyone concerned....and flame makes a good point...."In a hundred years, who's gonna care?"
