I didn't do this, but last night we were doing a guild run, with a
newly dinged 85 that is learning tanking. There was a uber  DPS guy
that was constantly criticizing our DPS (Even though I was purposely
not trying to aggro and held my down..and was focus firing). He was
being a complete jerk about anything, so in guild chat I said it would
be funny if we kicked him right before last boss. I didn't do it but
was almost tempted.
