I'm fascinated to learn that there's a banned member. What horrendous poetic crime did they commit?

I believe quite a few people have been unpersoned.

Lèse-majesté, I believe.

Ralph Rochester

Did Ralph Rochester really write 'Aeniad' instead of Aeneid (wich is the corekt speling as any fule kno) - and did the Spectator really publish that uncorrected? Shame!
However I shall forgive Ralph. He wins kudos in my eyes for subtly punning augury and gimlet.
