So your claim, then, is that they remain in my hand but are considered 
to be 'laid down' and cannot be laid down again until they have been 
'picked up'?

It seems to me that it's also hard in a real game to, say, hand the 
cards to somebody else, or indeed do anything with them once they're 
'laid down' without first picking them up.

So your judgment apparently indicates that my color cards cannot be 
moved, played, or otherwise manipulated until somebody makes a rule 
allowing me to 'pick them up'.

I'll go undo things like the Rotary Exchange targeting them then.

They trivially can't - bd's proposal fixed the rule to read:
"Any player who has at least one tomato may at any time declare their 
intent to throw a Tomato at any other player. Doing so destroys one of 
their tomatos. The targetted player is Hit with the Tomato with a 
probability of 1/4. If a player is Hit with a Tomato, that player and 
all cards in eir become Stained With Tomato Juice."

That pretty much bans everything everyone's tried.

This isn't reflected in the rules because I haven't had time to update 
them yet, and may not for a few days, at this rate.
