There's a gap between what Steve's proposing and what you're proposing.

I only point this out because you viewed these messages as the same.
Steve's message conveys "No" and ends this negative interaction. Your message conveys "My attorney suggested X" and suggests what he do next [unwanted advice - control?]. I get firmness is hard and maybe you aren't ready to say no. By simply telling him you'd gotten advice to do otherwise you invite continued discussion on this matter. Letting go of one of your last recurring interactions can't be easy.
