Discussion

Dr. Fred Thomson (asker) Jul 31, 2006:
The sentence truly wouldn't help (terse legal note); It is directed against one or more persons.
Armorel Young Jul 31, 2006:
Can we have more context, please - at least a complete sentence? Is it thoughts, ideas, or people that are being ausgegrenzt?
nic456 Jul 31, 2006:
Dr. Fred, would you please specify if they are directed against onself or others?

The management's incentive for ostracizing the employee is to get rid of him.
Note from asker:
It has to do with feelings engendered by management against an employee whom management wishes to get rid of.
