"Intrusion" has been defined many different ways. When I was an Elder under Quintius he said numerous times that if a baron stood at the stern guard for several ticks without attacking it he was to be made wanted for intrusion. If you're entering the cabal you're doing one of two things, attacking the stern guard or intruding.
Fuath was being a good arbiter. He didn't flag until he found out the whole story and he took the word of his Lord in the manner that he should have, as law. Grislan said place the flag, Fuath placed the flag. The baron's arguments were largely without value. He said "If Grislan wanted to make me wanted, he should've done it." It wasn't his case, he just consulted on it. I said numerous times to lower arbiters "It's your warrant, place the flag". You do this because the arbiter whose case it is is better equipped to explain, if he so chooses. An arbiter need only tell you why you're being wanted, he doesn't need to explain every minute detail to you, especially if you're a baron. Fuath did that. He needn't be compelled to explain his ideas to anybody. If I had been him I would've ignored you from the get-go, it gets boring talking to people when they won't talk back.
Whether or not the flag was just, I don't know. It's all a very gray area when intrusion is the reason for the flag, but since Grislan, a Lord, said it was just, it was just.
