Point is that I see one party acting like a dick day in, day out, over his version of shit that happened in the past.
Other people have different versions of shit that happened in the past but, guess what? They let it go. Or they left.
I've had differences with people on forums in the past. Normally the feud lasts for, like, only a year or two and then I forget. Nah, it lasts until I've finished saying what I've got to say about their behaviour and then I move on.
Right so YOU do things one way and I do things another way that is different to the way you do things? I do things different to you because I am not you? I am a different person?
I am responsible for every post I've made. There, responsability taken. Now what else does he want? The apology.
Missed this part of your post. Of course you're responsible for your posts. Can't really speak for anyone else, but an apology seems out of order. Maybe they want apologies and am personally misunderstanding the whole thing. Thinking apology isn't it. Sir Les's and DFG's manner of responses to personal insults can be expected by anyone who has previously seen them react. You're hardly a new or infrequent member, so am guessing you knew exactly what would happen. That's the one thing I haven't seen you state clearly; taking responsibility for being the cause of a easily pre-determined reaction.
I don't think that should be a hinder, but I know what you mean.
When I bluntly stated "idiot" in DFG's thread, I expected a reaction, but not half a year of it.
When I responded, equally bluntly, to Al in the thread where it all started, I also expected a reaction - but not half a year of it.
It now seems to fall on me, to do something about two people who are willing to react for at least 8 months to an insult. Believe me, I have insulted a LOT of people through the years, on this forum as well, but nobody took the reaction to these lengths, a "flame war" usually flames out over the course of a week, a month at most.
If I can do something _specific_ to unruffle ruffled feathers, I will - but I will not refrain from posting (or leave the forum) just because I've insulted people who will not let down once riled up. That is on them, not me.
I've been insulted as well, and not meaning by them, but by other people, other places. If I begun to freak out for 8 months in a row, I would prooobably be banned long before then (on most normal forums), but it would be entirely on me, to choose to react in that manner.
What happened to 
?
I know that I took my insults far. And I am entirely prepared to apologize for that, if that is what is wanted.
Correct, reacting in the manner they have reacted isn't indicative of you, though the personal insults seemingly out of left field are. Fully agree their manner of response shouldn't be a hindrance to you; that's why previously stated that none of you should stop anything, as you're all simply being yourselves. Maybe a resolution is in order, maybe it's not. Have witnessed this method of reaction from Sir Les and DFG, some instances of things so old they pre-date my ability to know or understand the situation, so thus believe leaving wouldn't really end it, except maybe for you. Jack expected years. Not sure why you didn't.
years!?
Well, I didn't because a human lifetime is limited 
surely, there has to be other things to occupy one's mind after a certain length of time...
After a few months of this, then yes, I AM expecting this to last indefinitely, or untill I agree to - - - something! What exactly that is still eludes me.
Years is correct. Thought you knew,
It is funny when people like yourself pretend that this kind of repercussion is unexpected.
Everyone seemed to know except for Zegh (and I suspect he did too)
What it all comes down to is someone thinks they will be an arsehole and makes that choice. That is on them. They get to control the decision and the impulse. But once they act out and it is out of their control they are responsible for the repercussions. They do not get to take back control, retire it, hide it or pretend it was not them being an arsehole. As the receiver of that behaviour, the receiver has the option to do whatever they like with it.
So the arsehole needs to be is responsible for who and what they say and do and do not control the reaction. They better pick their targets, how invested they are in doing their arseholery, and IF they do something shitty the do not get the privilege to downplay, dismiss or pretend that they aren't responsible for their action.
