yep - it really softens your actions, which in this case seem like a big step. So if you respect the people, why didn't you stay? or if you disagree this strongly with their actions, how can you still respect them?

I get that there's nuance, but this feels like they want to make a big ethical stand without burning any bridges. You can have one of those.

There are people I've worked with who I'll never worth with again. There are others I'd be willing to work with if they got their act together.

"If you disagree this strongly with their actions, how can you still respect them?" is a decent description of the latter.
