First of all: great that you all found a way back together - this does

I didn't feel hurt in any way but accept your apology anyway (just in

I had a different perception of the discussion: actually I think there 
were at least several individuals who agreed on an interpretation. 
Maybe you could say that there were distinct groups that shared a common
