I'm not sure what you mean about a prior agreement? When you join a PuG there is no tacit expectation that you will just be randomly kicked for any conceivable reason barring whatever is explicitly discussed. In fact, it's quite the opposite, people have the reasonable expectation they won't be kicked unless they breach some prior agreement (or just generally do the wrong thing like ninja pulling or afking during trash or FDing during boss fights).
What if the RL kicked the OP for no discernable reason at all? What if the RL kicked all the lefthanded people in the raid? All the warlocks? Whoever was position 5 in the raid every 29 minutes?
No, the RL does not have the 'right' to kick someone for no justifiable reason, merely the power to.
Kicking someone because your rude dickbag friend dropped his spaghetti over a helm (that is apparently not even good) doesn't make you a good friend. It makes you a bigger dickbag by approving and encouraging your friend's misconduct.
I don't care if the raid was started for the sole purpose of gearing that hunter: 1. It wasn't explained to the pugs; and; 2. Siding with your friend after they start screeching in public and kicking over the tables because they want someone else's toy (that they have 0 claim to) speaks to a real lack of character.
Frankly, in my view, I see everything wrong with how the RL acted. They were the main perpetrator at the end of the day, it's one thing to be rude and greedy, it's quite another to knowingly misuse a position of authority to support that greedy rudeness.
