Exactly what I wrote. Lo sisna is understood (by those rishonim) as don't
keep it in your heart, talk it out with them and not let the sin'ah build.

Lo siqom would be hitting them where you had no chance or intent of
correcting them or reaching reconcilliation. And that's sin'ah but not
"lo sisna es achikha *bilvavekha*". So, one needn't say, as the Kesef
Mishnah does, that lo sisna includes even not beleiv -- any actions
based on sin'ah are otherwise banned.

Keeping this off list, because I'm repeating myself. I think you fired
off a bunch of letters last night without reading as closely as usual.

And you don't have to search for the sources. They're spelled out at

Tir'u baTov!
