Eliezer is correct, but this post should be followed up by one about the many places where failing to punish non-punishers, in other words, tolerating free-riders, has negative consequences.
If you transgress, I might have a problem with you. If you actively shield a transgressor, I might have a problem with you. If you just don't punish a transgressor, the circumstances where I might have a problem are pretty rare I think!
