There are unlimited mechanisms to try to "punish" somebody who violates your moral code. Each mechanism has a certain effectiveness, a certain fallibility, and a certain inconvenience. For example you can boycott, you can badmouth, you can arrest, you can refuse to acknowledge, you can socially ostracize, you can wield professional power (e.g. give a bad grade to), you can disrupt their speaking engagements, you can physically attack, you can sue. I think we can all agree some mechanisms are reasonable, some are unreasonable, and some are worth debating. I'm glad this discussion is becoming conscious and deliberate.
