If everyone agreed who the bad people were and who the good people were, what is just and what is injust, the world would be a simple place.

The reality is that nobody agrees on where the line is or what even is good and bad.

And while i agree that you can in theory respectfully take punative action against someone, if they don't deserve the punative action you are still a bad person no matter how respectfully you punish the undeserving victim.
