Fairly interesting article here http://www.16-9.dk/2007-02/side11_inenglish.htm about the incident. According to the article, he was already a member (of the Friars Club) and this was actually his reason for leaving. Scroll down to 'The Friar's Club Incident' for the relevant information (although the stuff before it is nice too).

I know you don't really care, but, there you go.
