If the person who behaved badly continues with the unacceptable behavior, is it appropriate to just shut down forgiving and try something else?
As you forgive, even from the start, you can ask for fairness. If the other person persists in wrongdoing, persist (gently) in asking for fairness. It is important to continue forgiving because your anger at this point could be even higher than it was at the start. So, your continued forgiving, at the very least, is a protection for your well-being. The “something else” you mention is your quest for justice.
