Can somebody face karmic re-balancing for saying something hurtful?

[kristina]

Weaher you forgive another person or not has no effect on their karma. it has to do with your own.

in the same way, his karma has to do with his own forgiveness of self or others or lack of it.

It's the self that condemns us. and it's the self that gives us salvation. I would try to see the catalyst he gave you in a good light.. has it taught you anything? will it teach you forgiveness by giving you sth to forgive?

You stole the words right out of my mouth! Excellent answer! And oh so true.
