This is just my opinion.. I think it could be resolved... but when I don't know nor can tell if NES even wants that...
Lifetime is quite a long while.. I would reckon he needs to chillax a bit to say the least... I think his button pressing just might have crossed the line a bit too much too often.
I personally like NES and hope he can make amends over time, but I will say this part pretty clearly because I respect and agree with it:
Imagine if you are being poked at and prodded about stuff that you or others honestly had no ill-intent about and had done no wrong-doing in your opinion, when meanwhile another person is basically dragging yours or others integrity through the mud.. even if it is half joking and just poking to get a response, it still affects people and makes them upset and they might be caused to make a response.
I cannot see this in any other way other than he basically had his fun and probably took things too far over time with everything considered. Obviously he can establish contact and try and work things out.. is it all for nothing?.. I have no idea.. but if he truly does realize that maybe in the past, present, or whenever has said some things just to add fuel to a fire that may or may not exist then I think he should make amends for it. Just how I feel that even if parting ways you shouldn't go out with an image you didn't want to be portrayed as.
I think NES is outspoken and that is his mentality.. it works in some instances, and it would rub plenty of people wrong in other ones....simple as that really.
