Dearest Town, it was not a faux proposal.
You're lying or you'd have said, "Great. Since I have no intention of offering personal insult I know you won't be offering any in return. Terrific." Or something to that effect.
It was sincere and you replied with your version of an alternative.
What alternative? You only proposed a cease fire. I answered that if you meant it you had nothing to worry about. You then showed your actual hand. Revise away, the truth/posts are preserved against the effort.
Characterizing what I offered as faux is the very kind of behavior that perpetuates this atmosphere of animosity.
No, characterizing my declaration the way you did and ending with no deal was, instead, a public revelation of the difference between your frequent declarations and what you're actually willing to do or refrain from.
If you had left the word faux out of your sentence I would not have responded. But you chose to interject it as a blatantly prejudicial adjective. Why?
Because you'd already rejected and mischaracterized. Now you're having problems with chronology.
