[mou] Final Apology

[Tom Auer]

As it is now obvious, I made some completely wrong assumptions and
judgements that have put a group of people (and a certain individual)
in an undeserved bad light. I am deeply sorry for this and do not want
any further malice towards the well-behaved photographers of these
owls. My patience broke yesterday when I *thought* I was witnessing
yet another event of disrespect, but it was not properly placed. I ask
for your forgiveness and that you'll accept my apology.

But, as Juan has pointed out, there is still some bad behaviour
occuring and if anything good can come of this series of
communications, it's that there will be some enlightment towards the
proper treatment and respect for these birds, because that sentiment
is what started this all in the first place.
