That's not really what is generally meant by forgiveness.
I am pretty sure that when CL speaks of forgiveness she doesn't mean that either. She's already kudosed my post that you can forgive someone completely while not remotely tolerating or condoning their behavior.
Generally to forgive someone is to forgive them in your proverbial heart, to not begrudge them, to not be vengeful against them. It doesn't mean you have to tolerate them.
