Yes, I agree that being able to understand their background, what makes them tick, helps tolerate them now. However, with that said, I am reminded of Dershowitz' book The Abuse Excuse. Just because someone has a reason, doesn't allow them to get off the hook completely. Understanding who's "job" it is to correct them or help them get back on track, now that's the key.
