Confronting the difficult member is the best course of action. Allowing their behavior to continue unchecked will only lead to further disruption and dissension within the group. It's important that the group makes it clear that this behavior is unacceptable and discusses steps to better manage or work with the difficult member. Ignoring or indulging their behavior will only encourage them to continue.
