It's fine for a party to kick a tank.
Aye, the key word is "usually".

The majority groups don't mind one bit if a tank isn't pulling wall to wall as long as the pace is reasonably smooth. If a healer feels they can handle far more, there's nothing wrong with requesting the tank pulls bigger packs. It might even be a learning experience. If the tank is hostile towards this or doesn't communicate, it's fair to kick them. Similarly it's fine to kick a dps who pulls more than a tank or healer can handle without communicating and reacts with hostility.

I imagine the argument in the thread is that half the posters are imagining those nightmare runs with hostile dps and terrible healers running around wildly and wiping the group and hurling abuse at the tank before kicking them and interpreting the comments here as "that's good, it should be like that".

Just communicate with your group, be willing to do your best and learn and 99% of the time you'll be fine.
