Well, first of all, I don't think Lyle would believe me at this point.

Second of all, my goodwill for him isn't high enough that I'm very  
much inclined to spend much time trying to convince him, after his OOC  
whining in-game that he was being banned for inactivity (to which I  
replied, to the effect of "You've been logging in periodically and  
posting nothing but OOC messages for weeks, when your Queen has been  
demanding responses, and now you complain that you got in trouble for  
disrespect of the Crown?").

Frankly, I don't see what else I could have done in such a situation.   
Alanna wanted Marie out, and had for months.  If Lyle *had* responded  
to Alanna's ultimata--even if Lyle was logging in once ever 3 minutes-- 
Alanna *still* would have found something to nail him with.  But, like  
I said, I don't think Lyle will believe me no matter what I say at  
this point.  He can always just say (or think) that I'm lying after  
the fact to cover myself for the Titans.
