cyberostracism
the social psychologist kipling williams has written extensively on ostracism as a modern phenomenon. williams defines ostracism as "any act or acts of ignoring and excluding of an individual or groups by an individual or a group". williams suggests that the most common form of ostracism in a modern context is refusing to communicate with a person. by refusing to communicate with a person, that person is effectively ignored and excluded. the advent of the internet has made ostracism much easier to engage in, and conversely much more difficult to detect, with williams and others describing this online ostracism as "cyberostracism". in email communication, in particular, it is relatively easy for a person or organization to ignore and exclude a specific person, through simply refusing to communicate with the person. karen douglas thus describes "unanswered emails" as constituting a form of cyberostracism, and similarly eric wesselmann and kipling williams describe "ignored emails" as a form of cyberostracism.
