I have that movie on DVD (mostly for that one scene, and you know which one I'm talking about) but I don't remember that practice. Could you refresh my memory?

My take on the "shunt" scene is when the old man is telling Rachel (Kelly McGillis) that there has been talk about her and the English (Harrison Ford) and if the Elders decide to impose the "shunt" on her no one in the community would be allowed to speak to her, or acknowledge her, ever, including him. I guess it's like the ultimate silent treatment. It must be like, you pretend that someone doesn't exist?
Any Amish here to set this straight?  |

Just wanted you all to know this loser (bachboy 2) spent from about 10pm until midnight on the 16th posting 116 dumb messages onto the CG Forum. Two hours of his/her/its life wasted.
It only takes about 45 seconds to automatically delete everything he wrote.
I like that ratio!
