Well done.
You've just confirmed that you really don't know what impasse means.
Definitions of impasse on the Web:
* deadlock: a situation in which no progress can be made or no advancement is possible; "reached an impasse on the negotiations"
* blind alley: a street with only one way in or out
A bargaining impasse occurs when the two sides negotiating an agreement are unable to reach an agreement and become deadlocked. ...
This fellow believes they are at an impasse because they disagree on how this thread should be handled.
Since they are unable to reach an agreement on that issue, technically that is an impasse, but in reality that impasse exists in his mind only as his opinion has zero weight on the topic. It is a totally artificial, meaningless impasse, hence for all intents and purposes in the real world (where I exist) it is not an impasse at all. Hence, my dry comment of

And of course I said specifically "Less of an impasse as you may think." In case any reading comprehension issues linger, that means I acknowledged that technically an "impasse" existed. However, it did not matter.
Using an alley example, if you and an elephant were in an alley walking toward each other with no way to get by each other you would technically be at an impasse when you met up. As the elephant walked over you without pausing for a second you could think about how much of an impasse really was in place from the start.
I know you don't play poker qpw, but pretending you lack common sense with regards to context of language in order to create a personal attack on me is lame even for you. Rare for me to suggest this, but perhaps you should just stick with calling people "******s." That seems to be your niche anyway.
However, you should not react until we decide what you should do next since after all we are at an impasse on that, right?
All the best.
