Should she still be held accountable for her actions before she's just given forgiveness? Yes. The same way when we make mistakes, no matter how huge, very few things are UNFORGIVEABLE. But there should always be ACCOUNTABILITY or we'll never learn how our actions affect and harm others.
That said, by the time of this story, I firmly believe that Lana is trying to be noble and protect Clark. The problem is, no one ever called her on her treatment of Clark back at the beginning of Season Six. At least not to the point where she truly realized the impact of what she had done. So as a result, you have this mass confusion of Lana trying to do something noble but facing past resentments for her actions that had never been called into question and dealt with in a proper manner. Only after others release their anger by dealing with their frustrations will they be able to truly see Lana's noble purpose.
That's what makes this story so painfully frustrating yet I believe very rewarding and brilliant in the end. When everyone ends up on the same wavelength and each realizes what the other is doing for them, having survived these deep and painful issues will result in an extremely emotional, soul cleansing ending...and a little Clana love wouldn't hurt. =)
Ok, sorry for the long reply...

Don't be sorry...it was very well worded and I agree 100%. don't get my rants wrong...I love Lana and the chemistry between Tom and Kristin in the role of Clark and Lana is what keeps me coming back to Smallville and the hope that they will be a romantic couple again (I know...very slim hope...but people play the lottery with less hope so why not).
