Some years ago, a group of people got together and lied, convincing others at a club I belonged to that I had gone against the organization's bylaws, had acted rudely and without consideration. I made up my mind never to return to the club. Now, most of those who acussed me are gone from regular attendance. Would it be polite to let them know an apology is long overdue?

A forced apology is a meaningless one. You could ask for an apology, and chances are you would get one but that shouldn't make you nor them feel any better about the situation. They accepted the accusations of liars so it sounds like they will do what they are pressured to do (i.e. apologise), that doesn't make it genuine.

The fact that you know that most of those people are no longer active in the club suggests that you're still attending or at least in contact with it. If the remaining members are your friends, or are people you'd like to have as friends, why not just go back? At this point it hardly seems a question of politeness. The people who lied about you are gone, and to let them know that you think they should apologize would be likely just to reopen unpleasant relations. If you happen to run into them, be polite but distant.

Get over it. Eventually, if you are still seeing these people, the topic may come up and you can set folks straight, but for heaven's sake, you'll look like an obsessed idiot with no life if you start calling people up and demanding an apology for things that happened years ago that they have all forgotten about.

till a targeted visitor is an intensive buddy or family contributors member, i keep my canine away. Even then i will no longer enable my canine to make touch with them as i'm confident they gained't take excitement in the canine hairs which will connect themselves to the targeted visitor... for people i do no longer know properly entering the homestead, i do no longer know in the event that they are gentle around canines and returned for the hair concern. I won't permit somebody be uncomfortable in my homestead purely because of fact i desire to maintain my canine in the comparable room which fairly isn't a necessity for him. As for the sniffing, confident he can sniff 'with politeness' yet he many times would not difficulty and isn't any longer in all probability the style to be sticking his nostril in peoples crotches. he's plenty greater in all probability to drop a soggy tennis ball or rope ball into their crotch...

Nope. Don't re-open this old issue. You'll just expose yourself to being damaged again. If you want to rejoin the club, you should speak privately with the present officers. If not, just let it go.

Its in the past, dont dwell. Anyway, if you have to ask for an apology then they dont really mean it. It should be given without asking if they mean it.

Are you still in contact with these people? Why?

No, that is not polite. Move on.
