Well no, but there is a difference between taking their display at face value (and these aren't the ones making the Death Star Sun laser, the Starved Men aren't completely homogenous) and actively crushing their overtures at peace. There is still this option here: <a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Go_home">https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Go_home</a> where you just go home instead of accepting their gesture. Trying to move forward isn't forgetting, it's forgiving. This faction, who did launch a seemingly unprovoked war, which is bad, only did it because of a communication error. Still doesn't make it right, but neither does stopping them from trying to apologise.
