No one was mentioned or singled out.
I don't want to cause any situation were someone doesn't want to race, due to my interpretation of race craft.
I just want to race and I can not race when knocked slide ways.

I’ve said it before. I would like to go through the Seaside bus with only 2 wheels allowed on the rumble strips (with other 2 on smooth asphalt). That would be realistic (and save many lives). It would avoid pile ups on the occasion that someone hits/clips the wall.
From the above remarks it appears some folks do not fully understand the track boundary rules. Unless it's been changed, and I don't think it has, the overall rule is keep at least 2 wheels on the white line, or trackside of the white line. Where there are rumble strips the white line is moved to the non trackside edge of the strip and only for the length of the strip. Where it becomes risky using the rumble strips as the white line is at the start and end points of the rumble strip. At Spa Francorchamps a good example of the risk is at the left hand turn after Raidillon, at the beginning of the Kemmel straight.
For instance, you could try getting just 2 on the rumble strip at Eau Rouge at the bottom.
Chances are, if you manage without bouncing off the barrier, you'll be late into Raidillon. So nobody ever goes OOB here. It's just not the fast line.
Where most people got into penalties however is at the top.
If you're holding just 2 on the rumble strip and do it long enough, which is unusual for just one car going through, there's a good chance you could pass the end of the rumble strip and be back at the white line boundary with more than 2 off the track. The abrupt transition is the risk here. As you can see in the pic this car has hit the SNAIL boundary rule.

I think that really comes down to when people expect to brake. When racing with everyone from D1 to D4 there's going to be some drastically different braking points. It truly is hard to anticipate when someone is going to brake if you don't race with them but once a week, let alone the difference in corner entry, race line and general pace on track.
I had this issue just last night myself coming into T3 at RBR. I was closing towards the end of the straight and found myself seeing brake lights before I was ready, luckily was able to avoid contact and @Jw_wk1010 left me room. But that can't always be done when there's more traffic.
Brake at 110M turn 3 at RBR
I can guarantee you no D1/D2 driver goes into practice with intent of taking out D3/D4 guys along the way. On the rare Thursday I'm able to participate in multi divisional practice I usually try to hang back and let the T1(and up to T3) carnage work itself out then attack the pack.
How will that help? I highly doubt you were the sole perpetrator of every single instance of contact he experienced. There's no reason to rob yourself of good practice time because of a misinterpretation.

If last night's practice is any indication the 911 on Red Bull Ring is going to be a biatch tonight. You can't win the race on Lap1 turn 1 & 2 but you can sure as heck ruin it for many
