Josh, that’s a selective compliment, actually I have no memory.
Now to the issue, I was referring to the din, the law, the concept of how it was given by HaShem in His Torah. When and if there was a need, if Beis Din had definite and decisive evidence that one transgressed on a capital crime sin, than they were mechuyav, bidden, to mete out punishment. ???? ???? ?? ???. Again, when the Torah warrants punishment, then there’s no cause for (misplaced) mercy. ?? ????? ?? ??????? is said about one who felt it too harsh to kill out an entire nation. ?? ???? ????, we know where it led. So again, ultimate and true rachmanus, is where and when the Torah says.
