That isn't what I'm trying to say at all, actually. But there's a difference between someone who doesn't think they're doing something wrong and is just seeking forgiveness because they've been told they should, and someone who's genuinely sorry but isn't sure how to make amends. The latter is more forgivable, as far as I'm concerned, because they know they've done wrong and aren't sure how to rectify it, whereas someone who knows all the right things to say but doesn't mean any of it is far less so and doesn't deserve it.
And there are things that will make me not forgive someone, but that doesn't mean that that person doesn't deserve to be cared about by anyone. Again, though, it comes back to how they choose to be and how they feel about it - if they're unrepentant about it at all, then they don't deserve forgiveness.
