Getting Involved... (was Re: [Ansteorra] Apology from Nasir al-Fayyid)

[Snorri Hallsson]

For clarification sake, as I said in an earlier post, this issue was 
resolved when he apologized to Gróa in person when she called him on the 
carpet on it and told him it was unacceptable behavior. That is a pivotal 
point that I failed to make in my post just past and I apologize for not 
making it clear. But we're still offended by this gentle's actions that 
evening, both personally and in general, and we stand by our right to remain 
so despite amends having been satisfactorily made between the relevant 
parties.
