No, I would just have acted silly :-)

Seriously, I do not think this correponds to Reinstate, even if we go from
acting on the text to acting in real life.

Suppose somebody sends me a letter with a proposed command: "Please send us a
million dollars."

1) Accept as action: My response is to send a million dollars.

2) Reject as action: My response is to return a blank piece of paper.

3) Reinstate as action: My response is to return the letter with the text
crossed out.

And yes, I would consider option 3 (one way of) opposing the demand.

(Regarding assumptions: By choosing option 3, I do not not assume that my
out-crossing is accepted. They may choose to rub out my out-crossing and return
the demand once more. If I choose option 2, they will have to write the text
again from scratch to make the demand again - if they even recognize the blank
piece of paper as their rejected demand.)
