I did not mean to imply that we would not make errors in communicating with one another, we are only human* after all. :)
I believe we can do so with civility and respect and by giving the other the benefit of the doubt, but, if for whatever reason, someone feels that can no longer happen, I am thankful that their are avenues to pursue alternative resolutions.

And no, my intention was not to imply "if you did nothing wrong, you have nothing to hide", it was only that, our public actions ought to speak for themselves.
A nice sentiment, but unrealistic. We come from too many backgrounds, too many cultures, make too many typos, and are sufficiently bad at communicating overall as a movement that there will be many things that require clarification. We should always be open to making these clarifications - this is the key to better communication, and thus better understanding. Only from understanding can we improve things, not just ourselves, but our processes, our work, and our movement.
