This was just around the time you PMed me on IRC, in which you could clearly see I live in the Netherlands and had been idle as I was asleep.
Claiming someone that's sleeping is ignoring your diplomacy attempt is nonsense.
Furthermore, claiming our 2k provinces where a threat to yours whilst they just burnt their resources exploring and weren't even finished exploring and repopping yet, is nonsense. It would have taken well over 72 hours before they could possibly pose a threat, in that timeframe you could have pushed yourself over 3k fairly easily and be out of range.

If all of the above were true, you would have waited longer than 4 hours before starting with razing.
1) Your steward reads my message and ignored it. 3 of your online provinces also ignored my messages. That's what I call ignoring diplomacy.
2) They weren't a threat yet, but once they trained up, they would have been. In the short term, I've could had put myself out of nw range, but eventually, you would have eaten me. And I'm not even speaking about the two other provinces you would have eaten in the short term.
3) Post-war is op and you can train lots of troops fast. Had to get yourself to the diplo table while you were weak.

So yeah, you can think there was some kind of conspiracy, but there aren't. Thought you were coming for us and we took actions. When you told me you were trying to fight #1 kingdom, I offered a deal that would allow you to do that and you turned it down without even trying to make a counter offer (except a farmwar) while I made pretty clear I was willing to make the situation right.
