Regardless of the nobility of their motives, they could easily acquire a bad Reputation for their isolationist tendencies.

In cases like that, it almost seems like a limited form of Intolerance. Members of the shunning group don't actually hate the people they must shun, but members of the shunned groups are resentful because they're being shunned.
