No, I will not concede, on the same principles you are standing so hard and firm on.... those who will not give mercy will not get it.

Rather, I think pride has more explanatory power for your defacto"concession in perpetuity" advice.

Jesus said treat others, not as they have earned, but as you would hope to be treated.

HE is due that. HE, HE, HE. Not you!
