Russ,

That was uncalled for and inconsistent with the high bar you have set
for yourself in so many other discussions.

The word Scott is trying to find is most likely 'boycott':

  Boycott \Boy"cott\, n.
     The process, fact, or pressure of boycotting; a combining to
     withhold or prevent dealing or social intercourse with a
     tradesman, employer, etc.; social and business interdiction
     for the purpose of coercion.
     [1913 Webster]
