To make things clear:
1.BurningEGO was not gonna be banned, however his connection was very slow and I'd recommend a faster one to not clump the whole party. Also I would recommend you to consider becoming a bit more serious about the game. Noone expects you to pop out without explanation when host is already hovering his mouse over 'Start' button.
2.It was my fault BurningEGO had so much BB, so it's not his fault France was screwed up. I would like to ask that next time when Im nowhere to see CSK does this little BB edit (could you CSK?).
3.It was fully legal to make peace for France to deny Kujy expansion, however, in interests of prolonged fun with the game, it was very bad to do so, as Castile was struggling as it was and now it seems dying. We cannot afford to lose a player because of other player's ambition. At least not this early.
4.Please refrain from making comments about banning or other GM rulings. Before the ruling is actually imposed noone has right to say 'you are gonna be insert ruling here'. That only screws up the game atmosphere and in no way reinforces anyone's position in discussion.
The session was really hard indeed, just tell me, did you stop after I dropped (my ISP went down again) or later (and how much).
Also, Tzare, could you upload the latest save and provide a link?
