She never asked your forgiveness. You are under no moral obligation to give it.

I sure am under moral obligation. Jesus Christ told me to.

As i think was aptly demonstrated in Mr.s Don-O’s story, forgiveness is not for the other person. It is a gift you give yourself. If you don’t, it will eat you from the inside out.

“To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.” - Lewis B. Smedes

Says you.

A higher voice than a mere Lurker gave the warning to forgive her.

Even I, as an agnostic, would listen to that warning!

The people who crucified Jesus didn't ask for it either and He prayed, *Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.*

She did the right thing.

But God asked her to. Therefore...

Jesus on the cross, and St. Stephen whilst being stoned, serve as counterexamples to your contention.
