It is only toxic if they do not carry their weight ON PURPOSE. Not knowing enough is not toxic. Do you really expect everyone to be on top of their game, even if they’ve never done high-end content before?

And I must disagree. Kicking somebody without giving them a chance to do better is toxic and incredibly rude.
