Did he really say that? I don't really get it. Why 490?

...that would be 490 times, but He didn't say that we should not avoid the offenders, so don't quit blocking.

It basically means that we should forgive. Many people however are unwilling to forgive someone for the smallest things . They will hold it against them for the rest of their lives.

I think it means just be forgiving...to have a forgiving nature without saying "I can forgive you this time but never again.."

Is it linked somehow with the Cain & Abel story? Perhaps an admonishment or forgiveness for that first sin?

Forgive the first 490 incidents, then just start killin' people.
