Well, I don't know if they kissed.
A Joint Statement from Donald Luskin and Atrios
"We both regret a series of misunderstandings that have resulted in something that neither of us intended. We have discussed our differences, and both of us are confident that such misunderstandings will not occur again in the future. As a result, Mr. Luskin is retracting his demand letter of October 29, 2003. We congratulate each other on having quickly achieved an amicable resolution. We are both glad to have put this behind us."
It's on both Atrios' and Luskin's sites.
I can understand that by doing this Atrios is avoiding having to pay a lawyer. Or at least he's saving his readers/supporters from having to pay a lawyer.
That's good.
Will it stop Donald Luskin from threatening frivolous lawsuits? I don't see the incentive there, but I don't know what went on behind the scenes, and neither one says.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
Update 11/05/03: I'm not sure here, but I think Atrios may be walking a very fine line...either that or it's not all that far "behind us".
Hope he's a good dancer.
And, finally, we have the Obsession with Irrelevant Context. That's when we get to claim that people were "quoted out of context," when the missing context is completely irrelevant. I'd say Mick the Hack probably wins this one hands down, though self-proclaimed Krugman stalker, and my good friend, Don Luskin is providing some pretty tough competition. from his 11/05/03 posts
