I'm with Snoopy on this one. Banning from a promised visit to a bonfire night is too hard on the lad. There must be some other punishment suitable.
And as to what the Boy did, leave it. Sometimes it's none of our business, especially on a public forum.
Agreed in principle, but without knowing the gravity of his offence it is not our place to judge.
He may have given Miss Gymslip a printout of Nicks comments on here.
