That last part puts this person solidly in the wrong.

One of Tom's big rules is Thou Shalt Not Threaten To Complain To The  
Titans.  Complain, or do not complain.  *Never* use the Titans (or,  
in this case, Tom) as a threat.

 From what I've read here, the ban was perfectly reasonable from an  
IC perspective.  If you get banned for being inactive, the correct  
procedure is:
1) Politely point out to the Judge, privately and OOC, that you were  
inactive during that time, and could not have followed the orders, so  
would they please lift the ban?
2) If they won't, and you feel it was truly unjust, contact the Titans.
2) Deal with it: there are LOTS of realms in the game, and adversity  
is the best catalyst for RP.

The last time I checked, being in the realm of your choice was *not*  
an inalienable right.
