>If people REALLY consider doing bad things in RL, ostracizing them is the very first thing I would do to them. -as a starter. I would even push it further as to hunt them down like animals, doing to them, what they consider doing to others.

Certainly we should do whatever it takes to stop people from hurting each other. If that means putting dangerous people in prison, then so be it, but let's not take half measures which only make us feel better without actually protecting anyone.

Sure we say that we'll hunt down the dangerous people, but chances are slim that we'd actually do it. When we say we'll ostracize them for starters, what we probably really mean is that we'll only ostracize them, and the bit about hunting them down is just a fantasy. If ostracizing them is all that we do, then it's far worse than doing nothing. What we've done is left them alone to make their plans with no social distractions and no one to tell them that they shouldn't hurt people.
