I don't mean to be interpreted so negatively, and you don't have to speak so negatively either.
It's clear to me we aren't going to get anywhere in this discussion. We're talking past each other. As such, I'm walking away from this conversation.

Likewise, I don't believe I am speaking negatively or uncharitably at all. I think I have responded in good faith and with due self-reflection and that my comments are fair reflections of what you are communicating. Looking back, I don't see anything I'd change or any place where I wasn't engaging with polite, good faith responses to your negative comments.
