I thought you guys might be interested in learning about the history of boycotting; it began in Ireland as a way to punish someone by social shunning: https://www.irishcentral.com/roots/history/irish-invented-boycott
Thank you, that was a great read. I had no idea that Boycott was a person! An interesting mix of a boycott and mob justice (the death threats against his blacksmith and the violence against his post-boy were a little beyond what we'd describe as a boycott today!ЁЯШЕ). Thank God that's not what happens today if you send a few off-colour tweets!
