Quote: I never claimed there was any ill intent here; just hurt and damage , over time
I hear that. And also the lack of admission on the other person's part that there could have been hurt or damage if it was not intended, kwim? Sometimes people feel that if they didn't INTEND hurt, there could be no hurt. But I might accidentally drop a brick on your foot and not intend hurt, but your foot could be broken all the same. An apology is in order from ME over your hurt foot, AND a promise from me that I will be more careful with bricks in the future.
