Blacklisting and kicking someone from the party are not the same thing. And I don't do either lightly, but if you (general you) are a complete jerk to someone in my party you'll get a warning first and if you keep being a jerk you will be kicked. I may or may not blacklist you depending on exactly what you were doing. So if I do blacklist you there is a definite reason. I think I've initiated maybe 1-2 kicks due to the person harassing someone in the party - all other kicks were from legit afk people who got dc and just never came back. I have maybe 5 people on my blacklist. This is all since 2.0 launched.

The word toxic keeps getting tossed around a lot and I don't think it means what some people seems to think it means. Are there toxic people in this game? Of course, it's the internet. But most people aren't toxic. But if you need to blacklist someone, that's not toxic.
