You mean like putting hot coals on someone's head? Yes I have. Not because I want to hurt them, but because it makes them realize their actions are wrong.

True forgiveness is not a weapon.
It can change the hearts of those that you give it to though.
But not as a weapon, you cannot truly forgive someone with the intention of harming them.
I assume you are talking about a person that many people know has been wronged by another doing a big, public, "I Forgive you" speech just to make the other one look bad. That is not true forgiveness in my book.
Peace and God Bless!

Forgivness as a weapon of spite? You're kidding, right?

Come again? Forgiveness is forgiveness. If you want to forgive someone who has wronged you, where is the weapon? Something to hang over the head of the person that you have forgiven? If that is the case, you have not forgiven.

Forgiveness is a life style; not a weapon currently.

According to Islamic teachings, forgive the aggressor if you believe it will help him understand his mistake. But if that is not the case and you think that forgiving would only make him more aggressive, take your revenge, but only as much as the aggressor did.
The question arises how many muslims act on this?

I use forgiveness after I use a weapon.

"You may be a horrible person that not even your own mother would love you, you've done horrible things, you're as ugly as Hell and you have body odour. But I forgive you."
Yeah, I could politely insult someone and still look good by ending it with that ;D

No I haven't. Because if it is used as a weapon, then it's not really forgiven them; it's only lip service.

I've had it used on me by people with a martyr complex. It may be more accurate to say that I was used as a passive vehicle for the martyrdom.
