I thought I had explained it before but here it is again for your benefit.
I maintain, as does the English language, that a perpetrator is a perpetrator forever. If he/she repents and asks for forgiveness and mends any and all the damage he/she has done and totally changes things and self... he/she is still a perpetrator of the deeds that he/she has done.
You have been using the word perpetrator to mean only those who never repent and change. That is the problem. If you want to use it in that sense, that is fine and dandy. I'll accept it and period. All of us have limitations.
But if you use the word in such a way to mislead, which I don't think you are doing, then it is different. Your resistance to acknowledge the common use of the word insisting on you definition is what bothers me but you don't have to apologize for it. I have learned something.
I hope that answers your final question as to what is basically bugging me of what you wrote. Thank you for participating in this interaction, it has helped me to understand where you're at and where you're coming from.
