I looked at your post that talked about those without casting the first stone. Remember the context of that verse. The men Jesus was talking to just used that girl to trap Jesus. They could care less about what she was accused of.
Jesus saw though that wrote something down which I really believe showed those men what was really true about themselves.
From that he said you without sin cast your stone. They saw who they really were and walked away..
That verse was not about forgiving all crimes. It was about not using the law to attack others unjustly.
Judgement should be from God. That does not mean just an after death judgement. At times men who seek after God are called upon to judge. That judgement should be sober without malice. Understanding that at any point they can easily be lead astray. Like you said it should not be about revenge or with glee. I think you point is right on. When we judge others without Godly judgement we open ourselves up to the enemy.

No, no, you are mistaken! You've gotten it backwards! They could not care less.
That is what I was trying to say
