Several of those times when he logged in after all of us waited a few hours after our usual start time, he declined the party invites and said "Na I'm going to go do this other stuff with these other guys." RL ended up getting into an argument with him and he was kicked from the static

Since then I've been harsh on flakey people. Just recently I had to kick a person from my static. They should show up late to raid often holding us up. Once he said he'll be "a little late" only for us to give up 40 minutes later and pugged the last spot. Surprise Surprise that guy never logged in that night. We replaced him with that pug BLM, and several times have tried to contact the original guy, to no avail, they would not respond or see the messages despite being online and not having the AFK flag up. Tuesday rolls around, we enter O1S and the guy's wondering wtf we're doing. In between instances I talk to him, tell him what's up and he's chewing me out, clearly saying his time is more valuable then ours.

Always a bloody mess dealing with flakey people, it always ends badly and there's never a good way to handle it without them stepping down themselves
