When those of us that claim they have the court of public opinion in their favor they can engage in any vitriol they choose because after all they’re in the right. An easy thing to throw stones even if you live in a glass house because why take your own inventory when you can take someone else’s and get away with it. Taking shots when no one’s looking seems more like cowardice to me. (And even that is judgment on my part) I would rather you got in my face and told me straight off than engage in gossip and slander behind my back or worse yet used revenge as an excuse to get even for your own lies that would crack your bathroom mirror.
Is that anger or hurt speaking? Even sins are rated venial and mortal . One category can't be measured against the other. The affect and effect they have on the mental and physical well being of another might have some baring on the seriousness of the transgression. Choosing confrontation has questionable benefits. Repentance might be the ticket. We know our faults. Continuing on the road to Hell is a choice.
