There is room for gray areas here too.

f.e. Paul can acknowledge that he is willing to work towards adjusting his 
communication style not because he feels “sorry” but because he feels it would 
make communication more efficient within this group.

BTW of course those who initiated the thread can of course also decide to 
adjust the way they “parse” Paul’s messages.

Fundamentally I doubt that Paul gets up in the morning pondering how to make 
the lives of other FIG members hell. And I doubt that those FIG members get up 
in the morning planning how they can humiliate Paul in public. So if we all can 
work on this basis, its not about saying sorry so much, than about taking steps 
towards each other to work better together in the future.
