Shunning is rarely a problem if it's not concerted. Then it can be a great problem indeed. If, and only if, it is, you have harm to the basic rights of a person and you can establish causality, we are on a fine line. I *am* sensible enough not to confuse satisfying arbitrary whims with e.g. keeping someone alive. Sampo Syreeni <decoy@iki.fi>, aka decoy, student/math/Helsinki university
