What does this mean?

Maybe i'm a blonde, but I don't get it...Thanks! :)

Answers:
It means that you are capable of condemning an action without feeling any less favorably about the person who committed the action.
As an example: If you were a mother and your son ruined a cake you had made - you might explain to your son that you were very angry that he destroyed your hard work, but you would also let him know that you still loved him that the one act does not make him a very bad boy.
or something like that . . .
That's pretty similar to what a lot of theists say about homosexuality. "I hate the sin, but I love the sinner." (Which could be the subject of another rant!)
In other words, I deplore the action, but I forgive the person doing it. If one really does forgive the "sinner" one is deserving of commendation.
"Interfice errorem, diligere errantem" - Kill the sin, love the sinner. (St. Augustine) (Latin-English Phrase)
"Interfice errorem, diligere errantem" is a latin phase it means -Kill the sin, love the sinner! don't worry your not blonde lol
