You can absolutely play that character in the background... at some other table. Just go get some other GM to run that game. Dont call us, we wont call you.

As for any sort of "or I walk" or " I walk" my long settled policy on that I'd wish you well in future endeavors. No offer of middle ground or compromise- no discussion.
