Linda,

Wow! That was not an angle I had considered. I think that economic & social censure can qualify as psychological terrorism.

Thanks,

What I am referring to is when one individual or small group is able to preserve an entity that most of the people in their community wants destroyed. Often, if the preservationist(s) win, their businesses are boycotted, their children are ostracized and they lose whatever place they had in the community. And, it can be quite a debilitating experience. We have had many such fights in our small village. So far, we have weathered them over time. But, it can be really rough going. One of our members almost lost their business because of it.
