This description and language here ("ousted") got me wondering...

When we started sticking behind a mechitzah those who don't conform to
the minyan, did we expect a large crowd? Or was it one or two people
who would be unnoticed in the back? Because that would be a quiet thing,
whereas what went on in the yeshiva -- or in the minyan I was in as well
-- really is "agudos agudos". The very splitting into two subpopulations
we're trying to avoid!
