Au contraire, I've been banned more than most and it is fun. Promotes 
conversation more than logging on once, 5 minutes a day, to follow orders to 
move to region X with settings Y. Plus bans can be lifted, no harm done.

Never tried asking everyone to refuse a position, no. Every realm I've ever 
had uinfluence in would never have had that kind of unanimous support for 
change (plus they were all big enough to have one guy who would organise it 
so that he was made ruler..)

Protesting someone out is a lot more difficult than it sounds. And not all 
(read: hardly any) realms are true democracies.

Clarity is the essence of beauty, mystery the essence of desire.
