> I can't help but think of Ceasar (Dog Whisperer) and his technique of how dogs handle unruly members of the pack. The dog isn't banished - but the rest of the pack will make it unbearable enough for the unruly dog that he/she eventually learns to manage their behavior in order to co-exist within the pack. The social pressure (and disruption) goes away when the objectionable behavior goes away.
Of course, it not infrequently happens that a dog is driven away from a pack without fences. That may be seen as a very good thing by the pack. Occasionally a dog will even be seriously injured before it limps, bleeding, away. Or worse.
Funny thing is that the kids from middle school would have said the same thing. I exhibited behavior that was objectionable to them. They savaged me right out of their pack to another school.
You think of this as a *good* thing? We truly see things from different points of view. It's hard for me to believe that this is Bob's new vision of Babble.
