Ostracism isn't uncivil. It's certainly more civil that gathering outside someone's home and yelling at them.

Right, in a lot of ways, ostracism is a higher form of civility.

Let's try it and find out! (I would say that historically efforts to ostracize, say, anti-Semites & racists have been successful in changing culture).

Two situations aren't parallel because supporters aren't govn't officials. But if you are saying architects of policy under Bush II & Obama should be ostracized, sure, why not? For that matter, so should Kissinger.

Because the point isn't to gratuitously make people miserable but to effect change. And those who have power are the ones who can change things quickly.

It's precisely because the stakes are high that I think people need to be creative about tactics & open to new approaches.
