I'm really curious to figure out what you think.

I don't know if this is directed at me, but I'll answer anyway.
It depends on the situation, but I don't think that the point of giving a kid a time out is to isolate them as much as it is to let them calm down and think about the situation, and if that's something that they carry with them into adulthood then there's definitely no harm done.
