In the early 90s, hundreds of ultra-conservative, quazi-survivalist supporters of Bo Gritz were excommunicated. The fact that it was done quietly, as opposed to the September Six, speaks volumes.
What speaks volumes is not that the September Six excommunications were not done quietly, but that the September Six went to the media to complain about it.
