There comes a point where we have to trust them to show their bad self again, but also allow them to be their reformed self. So, sure, be aware - but if you bring it up or hold it against them, are you really allowing them to move on?

I bet you would not say that if the person did something bad to you.
I strongly believe there are tiers of people in society based on this, and that they are permanent.

You’re incorrect. I have a number of people in my life who “did something bad” to me whom I’ve forgiven after the right things were said and right actions were taken. I have also done “something bad” to others and made an earnest apology. Don’t presuppose who I am because it doesn’t fit your own narrative.
We need to be more forgiving. That’s not a blanket statement - it requires proper apology and actions from the person who “did something bad.”
