I have to disagree. As I indicated, I think you are offering false dichotomies which suggest a bias. Allowing the enemy to choose the field of engagement is a sure way to lose.
The only "chasing" I've experienced was being herded / escorted out of an area. In one instance: We weren't pushed into an ambush. We weren't killed. It was not "aggressive." In another location, I had a similar thing happen a couple dozen times. The behavior was defensive in nature, not aggression, not hostility, else I would be dead. Likewise, it was not "caring".
I question your motives as you repeat these false dichotomies in several threads. You appear to be trying to stir up something by deliberately omitting the correct and reasonable interpretation from the list of options you present.
You and I have swapped PMs discussing the possibility of individuals or agencies deliberately derailing discussion and stirring unrest to keep BFF from making progress towards understanding. I wonder ... are you one of them? If not, by the choices you present, you are doing their work for them. Something to think about as you present your next question.
