I'm talking in the context of mass movement (as opposed to inner party politics). People are very complex and it's unreasonable to expect everyone will be happy to share the room with one another. There's likely going to be a decent chunk of disagreements, but ultimately we have to some degree be able to tolerate disagreements. Right?

Some people don't have the privilege of accessing healthy development and end up with putrid personalities, doesn't mean you should be their friend, but as long as healthy boundaries are maintained I think we should be able to at least be able to cooperate. I've never expected to be embraced or understood, but please at least allow us contribute.

And besides If you judge those like us as your enemy, wouldn't you want to keep us closer, so you can eliminate us quickly? You'd have to deal with the problem either way.

Healthy development is not a promise for a personality that anyone is going to like.

In the current climate, you're not going to be able to maintain any kind of deep relationship with anyone that does share your values. People are absolutely isolating based on the slightest of differences.
