I'm sorry, if I caused some confusion with my statement. I thought about clarifying it, but hoped it wouldn't be necessary. In the end all of you are right and I did not plan to put this down to the whims of Siegfried.

Ftiz von Kastilien is banned IC from the Diet. This means that neither he can speak nor any messages from him will be read. If a messenger starts proclaiming stuff in the name of Fritz, he will not be heard, just to clarify that for the future. In that way the ban does extend towards proxies, as PK has shown.

However, as all others have also rightfully mentionend the ban is IC. Tamur is not banned from the Diet thread. Considering the Diet is an IC thread and thus Tamur can't make any OOC comments there, his options are quite scarce. The only thing his posts can achieve then, is to try to add some flavour to the Diet. His post is the only way I can think they could even work, to be honest.

I believe everyone here understands what a banning from the Diet involves, and no one has crossed that line. Let's not blow this whole thing out of proportion. If Tamur had Fritz speak in his recent post, econ21 would surely have deleted it. Nothing has happened, I think we can just move on with our regular posting.
