Naming and shaming may not be the best or most effective way to deal with idiots who behave inappropriately. I wonder too if we are capable of producing a legally watertight definition of harrassment which could underpin a naming and shaming approach. If I feel harrassed by someone (for some definition of harrassed), is that enough to name and shame? IMO shunning/banishing people seems to be more appropriate for a mediaeval cult and I hope we don't go down that path. Can we consider other ways of dealing with behaviour which is wrong?
