<DIV><FONT color=#000000>The problem you run into with the temporary banishment
is that it is, under the rules of our country, straight out-and-out personal,
arbitrary discrimination; which is against the law. Subscribing to the
theory that it is "period" won't hold up in court. So, unless
you are going to banish each and every person throughout the SCA who does the
same things, without regard to family affiliation, whether they are accepted
members of a household, or whatever, then it falls under the definition of
discrimination. Ergo, to remove the possibility of a legal problem because
some particular person or group may not "like" someone else, remove
the rule, and the problem goes away.</FONT></DIV>
