^ Ban for counting the pages, rather than simply enjoying them as they turn.
^ Ban for plugging an organisation that excludes women (which has led to the foundation of the clubs Ladies' Circle and Tangent).
I was referring to the mythical Round Table of King Arthur.
Ooh, I see. I think my ban is still valid because although the round table has had no head, which would apply that everyone who sits there has equal status, apparently there has been no "dame" sitting at this table.
However, I appreciate the chivalric ban!
edit: More to this topic:
While female knights were uncommon in both the literature and history of the Middle Ages, it is quite incorrect to say “a woman could never be a knight.” The Round Table was hardly an “equal opportunity” institution, and the code of chivalry did not contain any Title IX clause – but the fact is, both literature and history give us several cases of extraordinary women bearing the prestigious title knight. (And for the record, a woman knight is usually called “dame” instead of “sir.”)

Ban because all this talk of knights and circular tables reminded me of GoT and what a disappointment the last 2 seasons were.
