"it" being the discussion you tried distracting from (sort of
successfully) or the wild ad hominem attacks only you indulged in?  I
don't see that Felix is even in the situation of knowing what you want
him to stop in order for you to stop your completely unsolicited
attacks.  I mean, short of him to stop existing.

This really reminds me of the time I had some personal troll attacking
me on the TeX Usenet group whenever I suggested using some tool (Free
Software, by the way) I suggested to use for a particular use case since
I had not disclosed my "vested interest" since I was its author and had
on some website the information that I'd be willing to take payment for
further work on it.  It was sort of annoying but also sort of hilarious.

Hey, found it:

I'm surprised it's been only 8 years: feels so much longer ago (though
he probably popped up for a few years previous to that).  At any rate,
this compulsion to attack Felix' credibility for some grudge about
something you somehow resented discovering for reasons of your own
3 years ago reminded me a lot of it.

You don't have anything to win from that grudge: no reputation and no
factual argument.  So there is no point in trying to bargain with others
in return for stopping to damage yourself.  Just let it go.
