I understand that. But I think it would be nice to find some way to co-exist, too.

I do believe it's possible for people not to be aware of the consequences of their behavior.
Sorry, I do value you all as individuals and as a group, and I sincerely regret it when my decisions or the actions of others cause you distress. I don't always feel I can repair things in the way you might wish, but I hope that doesn't keep you from continuing to contribute to this community.
