They're toddlers throwing tantrums, they want people to tell them that they're misbehaving, and they need to confirm to social norms.
Shunning has been around longer than verbal language for a reason. Some people crave any form of social interaction and will always take the easiest path to getting it.
If they can get it by acting like a pile of shit, that's what they do. If they get ignored for that, they'll keep throwing the tantrum for a while, then they'll come back to the group acting better so they can get that social interaction.
Just got a let them cry it out, arguing with them is like being that person that "reply all's" to an email thread telling people not to "reply all".
