This is one area where consequentialist thinking really shines, IMHO.

Once you grok some terminal values, then parsing out how those are affected by the different degrees of ostracism offers a sharp tool for differentiating on unforeseen variables. E.g. if ostracizing an asshole veterinarian ends up with more dead puppies, then maybe dial it back, but if tolerating your racist uncle just causes everyone to have a bad time, maybe ostracize more. Or vice versa, if you swing that way.
