I'm finally doing the long promised update of my website Building  
Community. Most of the site is still in production but I have posted  
some issues to consider and one example of excluding a member in the  
forming stage:

http://www.buildingcommunity.info/excluding.html

I'm hoping to hear about how communities have dealt with evicting  
people after move in. If you would like to share these off-line, they  
would be useful to others.

My plan is to write an example that is anonymous and unidentifiable  
that will probably include pieces of several similar experiences. The  
only ones I know of were in conventional condos that used the legal  
process of fines and court cases.

In cohousing people leave because they are unhappy and some community  
pressure may be involved but are there any examples involving a  
community process?
