In the proposed solution of the article one would only forgive if the offending person did apologize. Probably after getting challenged or called out for what they posted.
So the comparison would be more that someone yelled at the kids, was called out for it and then apologized for their bad behaviour. Then they get forgiveness from the person calling them out.
