If the person is going to still be alive at the end, I draw the line at
anything I haven't heard my BDSM-interested friends discuss as
possibilities for "play".
Setting people on fire properly, with the right equipment on hand for
putting it out at the right time, is fine and dandy.
Shunning, I reserve for things like someone lying about the possibility of
having given his girlfriend an STD that would be reasonably treatable, if
unpleasantly so, for most people, but which might actually kill *her*.
