With regards to your examples, if an adult propositions a child, that is against
the law, and goes outside the bounds of any decent, moral or ethical
society. It is also punishable in mundane court; which is exactly where
that sort of person should be handled. However, since it is an action
which violates mundane law, then it is covered by Society-wide rules, and should
not be left up to the arbitrary powers of anyone other than the legal
representatives a the BOD. Threatening someone with physical harm is also
a violation of mundane law, and making threats to harm someone is an act
punishable in mundane courts. So, again, it is covered by Society-wide
rules, and should be a matter for the BOD.</FONT></FONT></DIV>

On the other hand, I would like to say this about threats: I have seen
Crowns, Knights and other "in the right group" members of the Society
physically threaten people more times than I can remember over the past 27
years. Not once was the person ever banished for it if they were members
of the right group. Which is why I said that there have to be rules which
are equal across the board. Not arbitrary by reign, Kingdom,
etc.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
