It was a genuine request for peace. I saw @em3 posted the link multiple times on Haejin's post when they were brand new. If Haejin has simply answered the comments or the Post with anything, a "no thanks" or "yes, help me get in touch with @fulltimegeek" or anything then I don't think these accounts would have attacked.
From their selective use of flags over the last 2 weeks, I honestly think they(these flagging accounts) are listening to Haejin or possibly controlled by him.
These accounts have no blogging history or identity. They could be haejin for all I know. Unlikely, but I do believe that they are at least in conversation with each other based on their flagging patterns. Haejin has shown himself to flag posts, comments and accounts that disagree with him.
I am happy that he had a conversation and listened to you. Hopefully he will see my comments and listen to me. IF he disagrees with what they did. He can upvote em3's post.
