"I have tried repeatedly to deescalate, every single time. I’ve said we need treat each other like we are sitting at the table."
It seems that your version is deescalating is demanding respect that you've repeatedly refused to show me and misinterpreting my words to paint yourself as a victim. Maybe not the best strategy.
Here's an idea, try recognising that your behaviour here has been far from perfect. It's obviously not only me who noticed this.
Try re-reading your posts and thinking how they might come across to you if our positions were reversed. Try re-reading *my* posts and recognising that I've not directed any personal attacks at you. I made an unfair comment about Fox News, and apologised. This alone is far more grace than you've shown.
I am nice. I'm pretty well known for it. But not to people who aren't nice in return. And especially, as I've said, to people who mischaracterise me. That I won't stand for.
