I called, to explain the situation, and that I was debating calling in fatigued. After he went over the extension legality and telling me I was good for several more hours, he said I could call in fatigued, but reminded me about 4 times that I was legal. When a duty pilot tells you a bunch of times you're legal, he's telling you to not call off, and that if you do, it's going to come back to you. You can disagree with me on this, but I'm calling it like it happened to me. So yes, forgive me if I'm afraid to call in fatigued, out of fear of pushback from management.
Btw Sailing, your comment about "was his statement you were legal for the reroute correct" says to me you'd push back on anyone who calls in fatigued. Nice job.
