Ok, can you instruct me on how to rephrase my question such that it doesn’t read as “us versus them” to you?

Once I applied Mitch's principle "that the person both contribute to and benefit from the community" to someone that camped on the chrome stations about 12 hours a day for a few months. I asked the person if they had any plans to work on projects. They became very angry at me and I asked them to leave. They became even more incredulous and irate, so I asked them to not come back.  They were not 86'd because there was no concern that they would come back.
