Question 1 of 10: Forgiveness basically is to stop being angry.  Is this correct?

The Internet is a double-edged sword. It can enlighten and quickly, but at the same time, it can mislead.  When I searched the Internet for the definition and some general issues on forgiveness, I was surprised by a rising consensus in up to 10 areas, each of which seems odd to me.  May I ask you to consider each one of these “discoveries” so that you can help me to understand better? Thank you in advance for your time.

That is too narrow a definition of forgiveness because it does not include a focus on the one who was unfair to you.  For example, you could cease being angry by thinking, The other is not worth my time.”
