Tarquin wrote I am fed up with this mailing list churning out all this yelling.
I no longer know who did what, who said what, and who is to blame.
That is why I called for one message, and only one, from each, with no right to comeback. The idea was to say - explain in 1 letter your behaviour then stop revisiting the issue. Otherwise this will go on and on and on ad nausaum.

There's another option. Jimbo, from on high, declares that this situation is OVER. No discussion, no nothing. No one mentions it, it's gone, done, in the past. The first person who violates this fiat gets tossed out on his/her ear. ;)

Well, I wouldn't go that far of course, but if all the relevant parties came to a consensus to let bygones-be-bygones, I'd be happy to formally declare a general amnesty.
But rather than have a 'first who violates gets tossed', I'd just say, look, we're all at ground zero with respect to Israel and Palestine and similar, and everyone should work really hard to be on their best behavior, so that the true jerks will show themselves and get banned.
And if there are no true jerks, and all these things were just unfortunate errors, then we can all live happily ever after.
None of this applies to EntmootsOfTrolls, who has recently admitted to being a banned user anyway. I'm not rebanning him just yet, but mostly because he seems to be saying that he's going to just go away in disgust anyway.
That'd be best.
