The idea of punishing the whole group because a single person falls into those categories is honestly backwards as hell, but at the same time, totally on brand for what I've come to expect from the XIV community.
Except it's not punishing anyone. If someone should get kicked, they will get kicked. If you need the help of your friends to kick someone, then it's likely you're the one who's trying to punish someone.
