This email expressed disapproval of the decision without discussing issues of the previous discussion, and this email was not addressed by the SAA: https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/ietf/UQgVv-dkk0uNhWcML8N-7sg_1nw/ Therefore, it is clearly allowed to express disapproval of the decision to end discussion.
