I am incredibly polite to the adultress married to my friend. I was even incredibly polite to my father's girlfriend when we would encounter each other at events to which he did not take my mother.
That said, I refuse to invite them as my guests or to be anything other than polite strangers. That is the form of censure I choose.

Being incredibly polite is quite different from asking a large group of people how to do a modern version of "the cut direct." And then to say your goal is forgiving and forgetting. You are (a) being polite and (b) not making any bones about the fact that you have neither forgiven nor forgotten.
Edited to say I wish I'd used the phrase "is a far cry from" in there. Damn.
