The reasoning wasn't to "teach them a lesson". We stated that due to the discrepencies between our retal policies, their policy didn't work for us.

Since they want to keep thier retal policy and can't compromise on it we have two options.
1. War
2. have a NAP so that the retal policy won't affect us.

We keep offering #2 but they've turned us down time and time again for 2 resets so we keep hitting.

The ball's all in thier court. Whenever we get back a yes we stop.
