I agree with Parts. I think the drama between me and Les is destroying what was once a great site.
I too think the question is, what do we do about it. A truce seems like the best solution, but that can be too easily broken by one side claiming to "innocently call the other on their behaviour," or whatever.
For instance, I could agree a truce with Les, but then wait for him to say anything I disapprove of, and start "attacking his point of view," rather that attacking Les. This would very quickly restart the whole drama over again.
For a truce to work, I think me and Les have to stay out of each others face, long term. I would prefer not to interact with Les at all, but Les would have to stop writing essays about me. I would be happy to avoid making digs about Les.
I think both of us have done enough damage to this site, and we should put the site, and the other users of the site, before our petty grudges.
