No, not negotiating. Not dating. Nothing formal.
From where I'm sitting we are having a discussion. You made an observation, and I decided that I had an interest in exploring your observation, at least partially because I thought you were misrepresenting my actions. We've shared viewpoints back and forth a few times along the way and I think I've got a little better understanding of what you were trying to say.

Maybe the conversation will continue, maybe it won't. It just so happens that I have a lot of time on my hands right at the moment so I can spend more effort than I normally would.
"Ball is in your court"*
*i.e.: I've communicated what I intended, have not specifically asked you for a response, so you are free to continue or not, as you see fit.
