They Make Up, We Throw Up

Donald Luskin has withdrawn his threat of a lawsuit against blogging star Atrios. Their joint statement:

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.

Is it just me, or is that "we congratulate each other" business a little hard to digest?
