I for one repent constantly as I am always changing my mind when the Holy Spirit reveals Jesus to me. I am in a constant phase of having my mind renewed! I love it! It brings life and peace and joy.
If I sin towards a person I definitely ask them for forgiveness. It's a healthy thing!
If I sin I confess to the Lord that Jesus' blood washed all my sins away! I thank Him that I am still the righteousness of God in Christ. I acknowledge that my behavior was wrong and it is not the real person that I am in Christ.
I then accept the no condemnation that is ours in Christ and choose to walk in the Spirit again. All sin is a failure to recognize the life of Christ in us and to live not fully dependent on Christ.
Just some quick thoughts on the subject.

Maybe we can focus this debate (um er discussion) a bit?
How about on the topic, "Is it necessary at times for a Christian to repent and ask for forgiveness of their sins"?
This seems to be my biggest contention ( um, alternate view) with the Hyper Grace folks.
