I can only share my PoV here.
It's very simple. I'm responsible for Acres being brought in for the razes on Calle + HellRazor (whether I have anything to do with them being brought in or not is irrelevant here).
Thus, I'm responsible for them being opped and trad marched by you - for the hostile status and the potential war button, in effect.
You wouldn't have a war threat over them, if they didn't participate in the razekills. They also wouldn't have a bank FB'd down to 20k peasants.
All those are direct effects of them joining the fray.
Thus, I can't accept a CF right now because that would mean abandoning them.
Things would be very different if they initiated hostile on you (they didn't) or if they didn't make it clear that they would wish the slates clean (which is a reasonable thing to ask).
You wanna hostile them? Fine. Offer an ingame CF to them, clear the meter and wave them. Just like you did with Sanc.
Signing an in-game CF agreement means that you're willing to clear the hostile meter, no more and no less. It was a very decent thing from you that you did so.
Personally, I believe that it would be a fun fight and you guys SHOULD be able to fight without interference. But that's irrelevant here.
I just do the right thing. My opinions and preferences don't matter here.
