Have you ever been kicked out of a group?
Justly or unjustly, what happened?
I ended up being jettisoned from an entire gaming circle over a clusterfuck of a relationship and various things, but there are a few key episodes which led to me being kicked from a specific group.
It started in a game I was running, where I told a player that, no, I don't follow the rules of the game as explicitly written, because I'm the GM. The rules are guidelines at best, and I will modify them freely if I think it makes the game experience better. I was not being a dick about it, just having stuff PCs did not work or any such stuff.

We ought to expect a decline of some fashion, yes.
It'll take a couple more decisions in quick succession along the lines of this and the Eldrazi reckoning to actually kill the beast that is MtG though.
What are we upset about now?
