Did Sisko ever forgive Picard?

Sisko's tone of voice definitely suggests he is.
Because that understanding is a rational understanding, and people who've lost their loved ones aren't always capable of being rational about it - especially when there is no other target for their pain to latch on to. Sisko can't get angry at the Borg - they're not around, and they're practically a natural disaster, so it would be like getting angry at the whether - so his anger is forced to (irrationally) seek another target. It was Picard's face on the viewscreen when his wife was murdered. That's enough of a link for his grief to connect to, whether he wants it to or not.
I can't speak for that person but I probably would accept the explanation but then I have relatives who suffer from mental illness. I'd more than likely blame the powers that be for neglecting mental health issues.
Maybe my brain is wired differently from everyone else's but I just don't believe in blaming people who are not responsible.
I think it's grand of Picard to have let Sisko's resentment pass through him without reaction the way he did for that old Vulcan weapon if you remember in Gambit. Sisko's waves of anger passed through Picard without eliciting reactions the same way the waves from that weapon did. Sisko is only lucky that Picard wasn't another Sisko, and that is ironic.
Well considering he murdered Siskos wife I'd say they're even.
Not especially. I'm pretty sure Sisko dealt with mildly testy tones of voice plenty of times without making a mountain out of that mole hill.
A mildly testy tone of voice is all it really was, after all.
Sisko dropped poison on children just to get Edington to surrender. Who's gonna forgive him for that?
With the difference that Sisko did give these orders himself and was plenty responsible for his actions. That Maquis member should do a great deal more than talking sternly to Sisko, in fact if said Maquis member was another Sisko instead of just a normal human being he would would blow Sisko's head off for that.
The worst thing that could ever happen to Sisko is to be confronted by another just like him but with opposing views. One of the two would end up dead.
Nobody ever speaks sternly to Sisko. Not if they know what's good for them.
Of course its human for sisko to blame Picard. Imagine if your child runs out from behind a parked car and is hit a killed by a driver who was doing nothing wrong human nature will make you think that driver could have done something different, you will hardly go up and shake his or her hand despite the fact they have to live with the fact someone was killed by them regardless of the fact they couldn't avoid it.
What if it's Sisko's clone?
Real accidents are rarely clear cut. It's not a very good example.
I think a much more realistic example would be someone who's car has been stolen. If the car thief hits your kid will you blame the man who's car has been stolen for it? Picard's body was similarly stolen from him by the borg.
Actually I take that back. Joseph (Sisko's father) spoke sternly to him.
But that was because when you've got Brock Peters AND Avery Brooks, it's a classic irresistable force/immovable object scenario. So something's gotta give.

Actually, it's a paradox. Like the chicken and the egg. There is no acceptable answer.
