turning your back
After witnessing a person being rebuked, I don't feel it right to just turn your back on them afterward he/she was rebuked. We are a teachable people, not a destructive people.

The Ones Rebuked
In other words The Rebbe is not that that into the negativity of rebuking...the ostrasizing techniue...the isolation...I have a question that made me stop and think a bit..Isn't it true that if you see someone being rebuked and you decide to turn your back on this person then giving and bringing closer becomes becomes almost sporty in balance? Becuse where is the balance if you are leaving out the ones rebuked?

Bringing Closer
Great! However, it should be the passion of everyone to draw them closer to spirituality.
