What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Jerome
"And do not heed all words that are spoken, lest you hear your servant curse you. For often your own heart knows that you likewise have cursed others. "Make sure to do only those things which have been taught, and strengthened by the help of wisdom, prepare yourself for either good or bad outcomes, and don't worry about what your enemies might say about you, or what kind of reputation you have. …
Bonaventure
And this indeed often happens, as a man can know from himself: "For your conscience knows that you have frequently cursed others," and so you ought not diligently heed nor punish: Sirach 31: "Know the things of your neighbor from yourself." And again, forgive: for as it is said in Matthew 18: "Ought you not then also to have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I also had mercy on you?"
