And that's as far as the explanation can go. Most people advocating a thorough explanation fail to address what that would sound like, and while perhaps true would be even less well received. It's the same reason prospective employers don't provide "here's why we didn't hire you" explanations: seems desirable in theory, but is really socially unacceptable in practice. A detailed list of "here are the honest reasons I wish to not associate with you" doesn't go over well.
