No, again, thank you. This is as forthcoming as I've ever seen you. And you've answered far more than I ever thought you would. So perhaps I'm being greedy to clarify.
Naturally I wasn't asking about the ethical quandry of being civil. I always do my level best to be civil, although I may occasionally fall short of the mark.
I'm asking about being supportive, which is different entirely from being civil.
Or to further your prison analogy. Yes, certainly prisoners can be released from prison before their victims forgive them. But can I ethically invite them to tea without being completely unsupportive to their victims (especially if said victims are my friends).
