While there is certainly an adversarial (though playful) tone toward him
the offer is sincere.

Correct. It shocked me when he spoke of decompiling in response to my
comments about the bot. He has long since said he did not mean to imply he
had the code or executable, and I have said I have no belief he does for
almost as long. 

He for some reason needs me to say I agree with him on details of that
misunderstanding of which I don’t agree. It is odd — similar to if I
insisted he apologize for falsely assuming I built my view of him blindly
based on what you said (paraphrasing). He was wrong. But so what? Certainly
not worth demanding he agree with me he was in error and apologize. Hell,
he can still hold onto that incorrect belief and I would still want peace.

Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They
cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel
somehow superior by attacking the messenger. They cling to their attacks
and ignore the message time and time again.
