It sounds like you’ve spent a lot of energy debating and discussing your position. I have come to accept that this is mostly a worthless project since that is not how movements are built. Don’t beat yourself up too much, work to maintain relationships you value, and put your energy into the real praxis.

Finally. I’ll finally be able to log off. Forever.
