There is no reason why you need to explain why you are offering what you are offering. You don't need to reference the ROFR thread, or anything else. Just make the offer you want to make. If it is accepted great. If it is countered, you can decide what to do from there. If it is rejected, move on. You can ignore the reason why it is being rejected. It does not matter to you.
In the same vein, no one is obligated to accept your offer, even if it is "market rate" per the ROFR thread. If they want more, that is their choice.
Finally, the ROFR thread is almost certainly the low end of the market range, for a variety of reasons, even though each individual report is truthful. For example, there is a bit of "competition" going on, in the sense that people who don't get the very best deals may not be posting to the thread. So, just because we might make offers in the ROFR range, doesn't mean everyone is doing that, or that sellers will necessarily agree.
