I DUB THEE/THE UNFORGIVEN

My title line - wonder what made me use it. Of course, it is that influence of my yesteryears - Metallica, being top notch on my mind, forever!
Today when I ponder on this - it sums up my state of mind, like never before. Read this and you would know what I mean.
There are only two parties here are:
(1) Me and
(2) 'everyone else'.
Now:
(1) If I am addressing myself, when I say 'I dub thee unforgiven', we are left with the question: 'unforgiven by whom?' The answer 'by everyone else' doesn't make too much sense or does it?But the answer 'by myself' is possible, i.e. I can't forgive myself for how things have turned out (= Option A).
(2) If I am addressing 'everyone else', the 'unforgiving party' is I myself, i.e. I am not going to forgive 'everyone else' for whatever reasons. (= Option B).
So, it is "I dub thee unforgiven", which is the same that "I dub you unforgiven"
-> I label you all unforgiven.
-> I won't forgive you for all you have done to me.
Is that right?
Or 'I dub the unforgiven", which means I am the one who is unforgiven by everyone else.
Confused? Well, whoever told you to read this bit and waste you time? Just a bit of pun intended. Without an effort, I did manage to confuse you, like the way I am, today.
If I am - how can you ALL be far behind?
