OK, I'm seriously asking here. I wonder why you felt moved to add that in, given that the entire rest of the entry, AFAICT, is admitting to his own complicity in the matter. At the risk of reading too much in to an EXTREMELY short comment, it feels like a dig at Brian--"remember, you brought this all on yourself." While I agree that Brian most certainly had a hand in creating this situation, I feel that the line that you partially quote is a fairly accurate depiction of how he views the whole thing now--essentially, there are some folks that he can re-build bridges with (and he intends to try), and there's another set of folks that he can't, in large part because what they did in that situation and later is simply too hurtful and/or they show no signs of being open to reconnection (as demonstrated by "their own behaviors"). Is there some other interpretation of your comment that I'm missing here that might be better and/or more useful? Thanks for explaining.
