Doesn't sound like a Banishment From Presence would have bothered you 
much... ;-)

I have to say, for all I have heard the 'trip to the bani-shed' bandied 
about in conversations (oddly, seems to happen a lot in them thar' 'A' 
kingdoms- what's up with that?) I really have seen few, and those have been 
either political moves, or long-term problem people who pushed until the 
royals _had_ to act. (Recent example of my knowledge the royals concerned 
really didn't want to, as it was clear the person concerned really wanted 
to call himself 'martyr', but the offense was very public, and the 
reprimand had to be of equal scale. Bad situation.) Doesn't seem to happen 
to plain ol' gossips, or mean people or idiots who shouldn't be on the 
field until they grow up a bit. We really are pretty lenient. And I think 
that's the way it should be.

Just my two livres, of course.
