Excuse Me?

Being that yesterday was a snow day for many people, my boss included; I didn’t get an update on the Tiny situation.  This morning I approached him first thing to discuss what’s been going on.
Nothing.  Apparently he had decided, all on his own, that this issue was just a big misunderstanding and that we should all just forget it ever happened.  He feels that since Tiny didn’t really know what he was doing, that I should forgive him and continue working. 
Um, no.  I told him that solution was not going to work for me, and really it is not.  This is not something I am willing to sweep under the carpet and forget about.  The man attacked me and I will not let it go.  I don’t care if it was a week ago or three weeks ago – an attack is an attack. 
I’m angry and upset.  I don’t like feeling second class because I was attacked and that is how my boss is treating this situation.  I know he doesn’t want to deal with confrontation, but he doesn’t have a choice here.  Sweeping all of this under the rug only allows this person to feel like it was all okay and that he can do it again.  And possibly, he can do it to me again.  That’s just not right. 
I told him that I want an apology from Tiny.  Period. 
If I don’t get it, I will have to take the next step.
