People do not actually even begin to comprehend what stripping of titles 
means.

When I tried to say that it was the worst offence you could do against a 
noble I got a response saying "That deserves a big: What Ever Dude". I'm not 
kidding. The problem is, as Thomas said, not enough people realise how 
serious and threatening an action it is; most just consider it as a pre-ban 
thing to do. Even if they do very few people will have their characters act 
it.

Since the character was stripped of his nobility, you should rasoably be 
able to do anything, including call the accused ex-noble names, but that 
also doesn't happen (my character is now fined for calling a stripped noble 
the bastard son of a whore, which shouldn't really happen if he was a 
"peasant" and so has no legal provision made for him).

I had a mentor, "See the spoon, see the spoon" he used to say, but all I saw 
was fish.
