I didn't see thsi thread until just now. Thankee Anachlirium for bringing it back! Anyhoo...
The first I can remember is Spike/Kevin. We had a bit of a rivalry going for a little while for whatever reason. I think we probably can both be stubborn, and have bad tempers, so that had something to do with it. It escalated into me making some thread where I let off steam at the entire forum, not naming names exactly, but he knew at least part of it was directed at him. We talked about it, we understood one another, and we got along better because of it.
I think there have been a few times where things like that have happened; most recently with Pete. He said a few things that pissed me off over a period of time, and I got after him in some thread, we exchanged PM's that contained heated words... and then a few months later we PM'ed each other and were like, "that was dumb. I am sorry."
That also happened similarly with Danarchy, with Strong Bad as the mediator who made us kiss and make up, pretty much. That was probably not a good idea, as I don't think we really understood each other's points of views as a result, and I realized a few days later that I still harbored some resentment. I think that if he came back, I'd be cool with him now. It was mostly because he was giving a lot of crap to one of my friends, and I didn't like it.
Another one who was kind of an enemy was Bunny (although if anything, he probably thought of me as minor annoyance at the time.) He rubbed me the wrong way for a long time. Like Chez, we also got to know each other more over the spam thread. Also, we both became moderators at the same time, so that probably helped too. He even stated he thought I'd make a good moderator, so that was cool, although I think we had started getting along before that. I think he has lost a lot of interest in forums and internet friends in general, so we don't really talk anymore. I would like talking to him again, though.
So yeah. Most of the time, if the "enemy" is someone who I might be able to get along with if I got to know them, I've been able to work things out with them. If I couldn't, I would inevitably realize that, and stop giving them the benefit of a doubt and just think they are bastards from there on out. I don't think I've really thought of anyone on TFF as an actual "enemy" for some time, though. Some people just piss me off/rub me the wrong way. Anyhoo...
Wuv, Yer Mom
