"Thomas Dalton"
I try to apply it all the time, but apparently it is a dying kind of dispute resolution.
It isn't a form of dispute resolution at all. You can't really forgive someone until they accept they did something wrong (well, I guess technically you can, but it doesn't achieve much), and once they've done that, the dispute is already resolved. All "forgive and forget" says is "once the dispute is resolved, move on, don't try and punish people for their mistakes".
What is wrong with 'move on' as a form of dispute resolution? Beats vendetta and vindictiveness any day.
I begin to think 'Njal's Saga' should be required reading for those concerned with Wikipedia disputes. Here's a short version (spoiler warning: look away now).
Starts with brothers H and H and a Queen of Norway.
Much later: spectacular murders of almost unrelated G and N in their homes.
Much later again: F and K, representing the two feuding sides, and almost the only ones left standing, say 'to hell with it'.
