I covered that in a post above -- what I was taught. That is not shunning, not in any shape or form, in my view.
We have a lot of people calling all kinds of behavior: shunning, that I don't see as shunning at all. It's a big problem with the definition of the word and what people think it means.
I will maintain that the LDS Church has NO official teaching to shun people. It's interpreted that way by SOME members, but certainly, not all, and NO leader ever promoted such behavior that I experienced in the last four or more decades. But, hey, that's just me! :-)
